“All I really want to say is this:

Get in the water.

Walk along the water. Move across its surface. Get under it.

Sit in it. Leap into it. Listen to it. Touch the water. Float on it. Close your eyes and drink a big glass.

Fall more deeply in love with water in all its shapes, colors, and forms. Let it heal you and make you a better, stronger ver- sion of yourself. You need water. And water needs you now.

I wish you water.”
