Water insinuates
Water threatens
​
​
Water welcomes
Water repels
​
Water is inert
Water ripples
​
Water nourishes
Water perishes
Water freeze
​
Water is white
Water is black
​
Water sticks together
Water separates
Water are the same
Water are different
​

When I was 7, my father throw me into the pool to let me learn swimming,I almost Drowned.
​
I can't swim since then but I love the ocean.
​
I didn't like to drink water when I was a child because it taste like nothing.
​
But I love hearing the sound of rain, and the droplets on the on the window at a rainy day.

There can be no more poignant image of the body being our means of belonging to the world, nor of our desire to be united with the world around us and our consciousness of our separation from it, alternating like the endless ebb and flow of the waves washing upon the shore.
