Spiritual Quotation

Water, Toxins, Emotions, Empathy, Reverence

by Alice Walker

Water was not meant to be polluted, any more than human blood, which is mostly water, is meant to be contaminated. How dare we bring anyone into the world who must anywhere run from rain? Native people have always maintained that water — like trees, rocks, and the earth itself — has emotions. Think how it must feel. We must learn respect for water and teach this respect to the billions of humans already here.
