The Sacredness of Water
by Barbara Harmony
Over twenty years ago, my initial interest and special awareness of water began quite simply with my concern around one city's sewage system. It was polluting a Creek and a Lake. I began asking questions-of myself and others and eventually came to see that there was a logical, low cost solution to the problem. Compost toilets! If people were not toilet trained to water they would not consider using it as a waste vehicle. As time went on, my awareness grew.
Working on water issues such as the one I just described, and through this connecting with other folks who were concerned about water issues, I discovered a wealth of information. I learned about Acid Rain, Groundwater Contamination and Depletion, and Diversion of Water; to name just a few water atrocities.. . and my awareness grew.
It was at about this point, unable to change public openness to logical solutions that a sense of overwhelm arrived on the scene. I was overcome and feeling like the boy who pointed out that the Emperor had no clothes.
Still I persisted in my growing awareness of the nature and grace of water. I was coming to see the true sacredness of water. I gave up complaining and agonizing about the things being done to water and started thanking the water. It was then that I realized that it was possible to interact with the Water or the Spirit of Water. That was the beginning of a new awareness. Then one day it seemed I heard the voice of water. It is so amazing to be recognized and acknowledged by the Water. Her presence is soothing and gentle in a misting rain or peacefulness in a lake...... and so I continued on my journey over the years.
