Water moves through everything on this planet – landscapes, plants, rocks, animals, you, and me. There are so many fascinating words for this movement: erosion, guttation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, percolation, perspiration, etc., etc.
The movement of water touches everything and transforms it somehow. Everything around us is in a state of flow.
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
― Alan Wilson Watts
Running Water – by Alfonsina Storni
(translated by Muna Lee)
Yes, I move, I live, I wander astray—
Water running, intermingling, over the sands.
I know the passionate pleasure of motion;
I taste the forests; I touch strange lands.
Yes, I move—perhaps I am seeking
Storms, suns, dawns, a place to hide.
What are you doing here, pale and polished—
You, the stone in the path of the tide?
“May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

Your last example is wonderful Priscilla – what a great idea. Also loved the image just above it. Extraordinary!
Thanks, Tina!
This is a beautiful gallery, Priscilla. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but the last photo and Running Water stand out in my eyes.
That last photo was taken by my son…of me at my daughter’s wedding. Can’t take credit as photographer, but will as Mom. 🙂 Alfonsina Storni was an Argentinian poet and teacher who died in 1938. Happy Poetry Month!
Always…all the feels..my friend. All the feels. Sending continued love and comfort.
Thank you, Donna! I appreciate your kind words, always. 🙂
Welcome.
The uniqueness of your posts never cease to surprise me and touch me. I love your first photo and also the last one – a wonderful raw emotion.
Thank you, Sofia. Your theme was a beautifully universal and specific one that invited such great interpretation!
the emotion of the last photo is touching and very poignant take on the challenge
My son did a great job with that! 🙂
yes, he did.
This is an awesome post both in images and narrative Priscilla. I’ve read the comments and understand the story behind the last photo. Sofia is right, the last photo shows raw emotion and is great as are your water images. Take care!
Thanks, Anne!
