Water

by Eve

Nilas

Lapsena tykkäsin juoda vettä samalla kun pissasin. Tykkäsin tunteesta kun vesi ikään kuin virtasi mun läpi.

Olemme vain vettä. Kaikki mitä on meidän ympärillämme on vain vettä. Vettä eri muodoissa. Vettä erilaisten kuorien sisällä. Meistä kaikissa on jotain samaa; ihmiset, eläimet, puut, linnut, hyönteiset, kivet, talot, asfalttitiet. Vesi ja kuori. Kaikki on samaa. Miksi emme löydä yhteyttä ja samaistumispin

As a child, I liked to drink water while I was peeing. I loved the feeling of it—as if the water was flowing right through me.

We are nothing but water. Everything around us is water too, water in different forms, water inside different shells.

There is something shared in all of us: people, animals, trees, birds, insects, stones, houses, asphalt roads.
Water and a shell.

All of it is the same. Why is it so hard for us to find that connection, to recognize ourselves in it?

Sami:

Watery multitudes inside of me,

constellations of it constituting me

h2o astronomy

without which we would cease to be

To be fluid, in motion, is to be alive

constantly moving & shifting like water

Even the water in my glass that appears to be still

is constantly shifting

unseen to the resolution of the human eye

molecules are changing place, dancing

The inner waters of my body are somehow chaotic

but change is a comforting constant

To flow – not in opposition of nature & the realities of the body

but in tune, fluidly dancing through life

I remembered i should water the plants.

They need water as much as i do.

I was with water today. Flying over it. Arriving at it. Standing with it, at the river.

Being with the water rushing past me, beneath me.

Infinite drops, many currents unified, moving forward in a single direction. Neither pulling nor pushing, being carried along.

I drift with it - but don’t tempt the currents - only respect them.

I feel the water in my blood inside. I see the water in the clouds outside, sense them with the hair follicles of my skin. They merge

- a dew leopard - droplets decorate a breathing mass, soothing the continent of blood volcanoes erupting with the moon.

Sip in the mouth. Precious, to Earth and body. Recycled ancient matter, many states and many tastes. Maybe the water is tasting me.

Thunder claps above as I write this now.

The London sky is about to crack o p e n. flash!

Vesi minussa

Minä vedessä

Takana

Edessä

Jokapuolella

Huolella,

jos tarkastelen kehoni liikkeitä,

pystynkö huomaamaan jotakin uutta?

Water within me
I within the water
Behind me
Before me
On every side

With care,
if I observe the movements of my body,
might I notice something new?
