The water in the glass
Share
A glass of water, straight from the tap. We rarely think where it's been.
It fell as rain, ran through ground and rivers and pipes, to reach you clear. Not everyone has a tap that runs clean. In many traditions, water is treated as sacred, not just a utility.
Where did yours come from?
What you'll need
- A glass of water
- A minute before you drink
Method
Before you drink, hold the glass and notice the water, clear, cool, ordinary.
Trace it back, the rain, the ground, the reservoir, the pipe to your tap.
Try it for a few days, and notice whether knowing where it came from changes how you drink it.
