I Am Water
And so are you. At least about 72% of you is, along with the person you love, your kids, your friends, all your acquaintances, all mostly water. Several billion years ago, a few single-celled organism started focus groups, formed cohesive bonds with those similarly situated, discussed logistics, strategized, and eventually crawled their way out of the primordial soup. At one time oceans covered the planet. At one time dinosaurs roamed the earth. We’ve come a long way since then, but we’re still sipping the same water the dinosaurs drank.
Thinking about water and the fact that there is a fixed amount is mind-boggling. We are also living in an era of climate change when melting polar caps are
projected to unleash more water. Ultimately we need to think of how the earth’s resources can be enough for evyone on earth. I’m reminded of R. Buckminster Fuller who used to say if we can do more with less there’s plenty for everyone. Not sure that’s where we’re headed.

I do believe that you and Buckminster Fuller are right, Ken!
