water, water everywhere

Water is the driving force of all nature. -Leonardo DaVinci


To have faith is to trust yourself to the water.  When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown.  Instead you relax, and float. -Alan Watts


Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. -Lao Tzu


Here lies one who's name is writ in water. - John Keats epitaph for himself


Water, water everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.  The very deep did rot: O Christ! That ever this should be!  Yes, slimy things did crawl with legs Upon the slimy sea. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', pt.2
