Living Water

Today I learned:

• that boiled water does not transmute into tea without human intervention
• that friendship is worth it
• that the wet stuff falling from the sky miraculously finds its way around an umbrella
• that a powercable, if plugged in, charges one's laptop so much faster
• that my kids are absolutely the best in the world but I knew that already
• that fear always runs faster than you. I'd better turn and look at it
• that candy doesn't taste half as good in your mouth as in your mind

I hold you in cupped hands
And shield you from a storm
Where only some dumb idiot
Would let you go
-- Keane, "Sunshine"
