Water, cont’d

Wednesday, 14 October 2009 in Life

A couple months back and strictly out of being random, I wrote a post on how wonderful water is. It boils, condenses, cleanses and dilutes like nothing else on earth. Yes, i’m repeating myself.

But in a way water also represents human nature. Ebbs and flows aside, no matter how angry, happy, jealous, depressed, shameful, proud or satisfied we may be at that moment, we ultimately remain who we are at the end of the day. We may be angry and have steam shooting out, depressed like the rain or even experience hopelessness as our heart turn to ice, but at the end of the day the storm will calm as our mood will revert back to a clear liquid, still as a mirror reflecting from within.

There are good news even in the worst of storms: The heavy rainfall we’ve been experiencing in the Bay Area had caused major traffic delays not only in freeways but also for most public transportations. The normal train going to the city has been cut short from 10-car to 4-car alongside a 20 minute delay, but today upon returning to my car I noticed the rain had given it the deepest, cleanest wash in recent months.
