The essence by which all life thrives.
Scarce is the species that doesn't need water or is harmed by it.
Water has created the world we know today.
It carved the mountains we climb.
It dug the valleys we trek.
It grounds the soil where we build, and wears away the stone that tries to stand in its path.
It flows throughout our bodies.
It saturates the food we eat.
It sustains every breath, every heartbeat, every quiet process that keeps us alive.
It encompasses the entire planet—whether as a vast ocean, a subterranean river, an ice sheet standing in absolute silence, or atmospheric vapor floating in the air you breathe.
Water is among the oldest forces this planet has ever held, and by far the strongest.
It cannot be contained for long.
It yields without breaking, bends around every obstacle, and eventually reshapes whatever attempts to hold it back.
It is endlessly changing and infinitely adaptable.
The number of shapes, forms, and states it can take is only rivaled by the sheer quantity of it our planet contains.
Like time, it moves ceaselessly forward, leaving its imprint on everything it touches.
Water and time are only distinguished by physical tangibility.
Water is the lifeblood of our planet,
Just as,
Time is the lifeblood of our existence.
