“I thought to myself, “If we were conscious, we would fall down on our knees and give thanks every day for water and safeguard her with our lives.” I began to make a practice of saying a prayer of gratitude every time I used water to clean, cook, bathe, or drink. Simple gratitude for her gift of life began to awaken me from my amnesia about the exquisite world we live embedded within.”
