Blue Mind in the Desert | Dr. Wallace J. Nichols | TEDxFountainHills

What's YOUR Water?

The list may be long ...

This is a wonderful Ted Talk

Dona Anderson

If you visit often you'll know I like to share a variety of things with You and this one is important to us and it will become more important as the population increases, our cities grow, and the world is challenged because of climate change. 

What is water to you?

It's many things and not just to drink or bathe in (although very important)

It's the freshly washed clothes, remember the line up for the water fountain, crossing the bridge and looking down, the energy of water falls, the smell of rain. It's crucial to grow our food.

Lets just say - we can't live without it.

  
It's also our recreation. A walk at the beach or ocean, a swim, a walk in the park to see the fountain or feed the ducks, going fishing, water skiing, surfing, deep sea diving and more.

It's about places to visit where you can lay down your beach towel or set up your chair and Relax with a picnic.

It's our memories our awe of our first time at the ocean, lake or river seeing the fish, a seal, star fish, ducks, whale, birds, plants and picking up shells, hearing the sounds of the waves or the feelings of connection to the world. 

There's ceremonies, romance, sunsets & sunrises, or perhaps you experienced the moon rising and casting what seemed like a road of light across the water coming directedly to You. 

It's places for tourists and landmarks like bridges, tunnels, places to see icebergs. It's even for where the bears catch the salmon, or millions go on cruises and you got to see Penguins. 💚

It's our feelings of cleanliness, health, freedom, motion and life.

This video is not just about water but goes on to our brain, how we live our lives,  think - Science.

Enjoy!





PS. remember those times you have to clean the sand out of your toes or you still may have a few shells you picked up somewhere. 

I love the ME to the WE attitude, just a flip of the M - it makes a huge change.

This is a video we can all connect to, We all need water.

  1. I could watch this many times. I smiled, laughed learned and had a tear. I remembered the bridges, the oceans, waterfalls sunsets & walks on the beach. I remembered the video of an elephant having a mud bath, and an orangutan washing her hands. Clean water should be available to everyone. Thank You to those who are helping make that happen and to those working on clean up projects around the world.
