Water the odds 12/6/2013
I went off trail today; it was glorious. I felt like SUCH a
rebel, trekking through the prickly brush, stumbling over rotted branches,
collecting spider webs with my face, I was the epitome of grace out there. I
found a mossy spot to sit and caught my breath for a minute. As my heart rate
regulated, I looked out onto the water and just stared in awe. How could anyone
believe that all this happened on accident? The water itself is simply
remarkable when you think about it. Water is made up of two hydrogen and one
oxygen. Both elements alone are super light gasses at room temperature, yet
they combine to form the strongest bond possible between atoms. And those tiny,
tightly bonded atoms collect together in a liquid that is transparent and flows
so interestingly-the formation of droplets to the downpour of waterfalls, the
rings formed by a leave falling upon the water to the crash formed when a wave
hits the shore. The peculiar microscopic beauty and diversity of snowflakes in
a blizzard and the voluptuous enormity of
cumulonimbus clouds before a storm. And the fact that life as we know it
revolves around this weird little substance. Water may be God’s way of showing
off his crazy power and creativity in the most humble way.
