The Sacredness of Water
by Barbara Harmony
The Water Committee of the Bioregional Movement met initially in May of 1984. Water workers from across the continent designed a platform and wrote resolutions and shared stories of Water degradation. In 1986 and 1988 the resolutions were refined and again stories were shared. In 1990, tired of the stories of Water Atrocities, when the Water Committee met it was agreed that we should give thanks to the Water.
So it happened that the morning the plenary session was to open the Congress, the Water Committee met on the banks of Lake Cobboseecontee and gave thanks to the water. The group joined the plenary session, bringing with us the purity and strength of purpose that we received from the water.
In 1992, when the Water Committee met on the Guadeloupe River in the Hill Country of Texas at the 5th Turtle Island Bioregional Gathering, each person shared about their water work. We then sat in silence in the circle as it rained for about 4 minutes, the same amount of time each person had spoken. It was remembered and noted that water speaks a universal language of oneness and sustains all life.
We continue this practice of thanksgiving through the project and The ODB NEXT STEP Project Water Reiki Forum . Please join us in these wonderful celebrations.
