Water is Life
Friday, December 29, 2006
“Water teaches in a very clear way how we must live our lives. The story of water reaches from every individual cell to encompass the entire cosmos.”
-Dr. Masaru Emoto from The Hidden Messages in Water
“Water sustains all life. Her songs begin in the tiniest of raindrops, transform to flowing rivers, travel to majestic oceans and thundering clouds and back to earth to being again. When water is threatened, all living things are threatened.” -Indigenous Declaration on Water
This past weekend I had the unique opportunity to hear, the world renowned Japanese scientist, Dr. Emoto speak to an intimate gathering of people on the Hopi reservation—in Northern Arizona— where my little bro has the honor of teaching.
Emoto is a friend of the Hopi people and shares their deep and profound respect for the life-giving power of water. His visit coincided with the annual Water is Life festival— held in honor of the nineteen Hopi men imprisoned at Alcatraz, in 1895, for refusing to send their children to a U.S. Government school established to “civilize” them. Personally, I think the government had that one backwards— but that’s another story. Anyway... Mr. E. He’s cute, he’s humble, and he has a wicked sense of humor. Not only did I walk away enlightened and inspired, but also highly entertained. If you have a chance to hear him speak, please do so! In the meantime, pick up a copy of his book: The Hidden Messages in Water. It’s a must read for all.
Aloha!
