Confessions of a Tough-Minded Optimist: I am water

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.
