I was filling my cold/hot water tank....running the water and just standing there, then suddenly I was struck with absolute AWE at how lucky we are to have abundance of free and fresh and clear and clean running water.
In some places on earth, they have never even seen clean water. They drink filthy disgusting water that is muddy looking, and they have to bathe, wash everything and drink this water. And they have to walk in some places, 10 miles a day just to haul as much water as they can carry. Imagine how hard this way of life would be....and look again, very closely when you are running that cool, refreshing water in your sink, and just be in AWE, as I am just looking at the stuff....and how free and clean and clear it is. I know our water has some impurities and is loaded with chlorine. But it has to be that way. We are glacier water here where I live.
How is the water where you live? Do you just ever stand there in AWE of how our water system provides us with unlimited fresh and pure water? (Well, purer than in other places in the world)

Yeah, that's fine. But in those other places on Earth it's not false shortages it's that they never should have been born. It's human overpopulation. Sanctify Margaret Sanger! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sanger><Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

Well, it's things like that make me worry about reincarnation. What if we're reborn in some African Country?

Rick, great point! although sometimes I wish all I had to worry about was walking for water. Sure its great and It's mostly free but life in these United States can be quite taxing....if you know what I mean! Oh, and Chica you wacky girl, sometimes the things you blurt out makes me spew my coffee. Come on Obama girl share the wealth! LOL!
