Confessions of a Tough-Minded Optimist: I am water
Though I assume many forms, the essence of what I am remains formless.
I cannot be grasped, but only experienced.
I can nourish you or destroy you, depending on how you choose to engage me.
Toss me into the heat and I will rise as steam.
Let the world freeze me with its coldness and I will become solid and strong as rock.
Shatter me into a thousand pieces and I will return again to my true nature as unbroken and undivided oneness.
