I agree completely.

The World Ocean is amazing and restorative, infinitely more vast than anything but the Universe itself.

Interestingly, at least to me, I did a meditation a few months back, just listening to the sounds of our woods, and clearly heard the words, "Water is God."

And I felt like I had come home. It made so much sense, and this is how it has always affected me.

After all, every religion or spiritual practice has initiation rituals involving water. Water, in nearly all spiritual traditions, is sacred.

Mystics over the centuries have maintained that in the absence of God (or Spirit, or whatever name is used), there is no life.

Scientifically, biologically, in the absense of water, quite literally, there is no life.

Which is why living waters are always the most restorative for our health.

If water won't support life, I prefer not to drink it, which is why I do my best to filter out the chlorine, fluoride and other toxins that would harm fish and invertebrates.
