“I was sleeping in a water bed for a couple of years, recommended by my doctor. I was never comfortable in that water bed. In the middle of the night you would hear something happening - water and bubbles. I would always think there was some intelligent life in the water bed.” ThinkingYearsNightWaterSleepMiddleCoupleBedComfortableHappeningsDoctorsIntelligentBubblesMiddle Of The NightSleeping InIntelligent Life Author:Jo Nesbo

“The body and mind are continually changing, and are, in fact, only names of series of changeful phenomena, like rivers whose waters are in a constant state of flux, yet presenting the appearance of unbroken streams. Every particle in this body is continually changing; no one has the same body for many minutes together, and yet we think of it as the same body.” ThinkingMindStatesFactsBodyTogetherNamesWaterChangeMinutesRiversConstantSeriesAppearanceStreamsParticlesMind And BodyPresentingUnbrokenFlux Book:Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge Source: Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge
“Everybody prays whether [you think] of it as praying or not. The odd silence you fall into when something very beautiful is happening or something very good or very bad. The ah-h-h-h! that sometimes floats up out of you as out of a Fourth of July crowd when the sky-rocket bursts over the water. The stammer of pain at somebody else s pain. The stammer of joy at somebody else's joy. Whatever words or sounds you use for sighing with over your own life.

“I drink tons of water. When you're puffy, you think you can't drink water since you feel more bloated and gross but that's what you do to get the toxins out of your system. I put a little lemon in the water bottle that I carry around with me or drink a cup of hot water with lemon.

“When we talk of flood control, we usually think of dams and deeper river channels, to impound the waters or hurry their run-off. Yet neither is the ultimate solution, simply because floods are caused by the flow of water downhill. If the hills are wooded, that flow is checked. If there is a swamp at the foot of the hills, the swamp sponges up most of the excess water, restores some of it to the underground water supply and feeds the remainder slowly into the streams. Strip the hills, drain the boglands, and you create flood conditions inevitably. Yet that is what we have been doing for years.” IfsThinkingYearsHas BeensRunningWaterFeetConditionsSolutionsFlowRiversUltimateDeeperWoodsHillsStreamsExcessFloodDrainsSwampsSpongesProblems And SolutionsSolution To A ProblemDams Author:Hal Borland
“I have always been a big advocate of tap water-not because I think it harmless but because the idea of purchasing water extracted from some remote watershed and then hauled halfway round the world bothers me. Drinking bottled water relieves people of their concern about ecological threats to the river they live by or to the basins of groundwater they live over. It's the same kind of thinking that leads some to the complacent conclusion that if things on earth get bad enough, well, we'll just blast off to a space station somewhere else.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldWellsKindIdeasEnoughBigsEarthWaterSpaceConcernRiversThreatDrinkingEnvironmentalRoundsConclusionBotherOver ItLive ByStationsSomewhere ElseHalfwayBlastEcologicalComplacentDrinking WaterPurchasingWatershedsBottled WaterTap WaterGroundwater Author:Sandra Steingraber
