2022-Micro-02 - "Water"
To celebrate Earth Month, we are honoring the very essence and source of life – Water. We were quite taken by the whimsical drawing of the Water “Super Hero” by Kablam, but there is nothing whimsical about the nature of water.
Our beloved home is a wonderland of water. Rivers. Lakes. Ponds. Oceans. Artesian wells. Rain. Floods. Glasses half full or half empty. Water can be gentle and life-giving or a powerful, destructive force. The best and worst of our world can be portrayed through the theme of water.
The young poet Hilda Conkling beautifully expressed the mystery of water in this poem, published when she was 10 years old, in 1920:
The world turns softly not to spill its lakes and rivers. The water is held in its arms and the sky is held in the water. What is water, that pours silver, and can hold the sky?
