Wellspring Wellbeing

World Water Day March 22, 2009

Here at WellSpring WellBeing we care about the well-being of every living thing, every living being on our planet.

In 2009, the theme for World Water Day is “Shared Water – Shared Opportunities”.  Special focus will be placed on transboundary waters. Nurturing the opportunities for cooperation in transboundary water management can help build mutual respect, understanding and trust among countries and promote peace, security and sustainable economic growth.

Water Knows No Boundaries

I love the fact that the earth is 70% water…and it doesn’t know boundaries.  A river doesn’t suddenly stop flowing at a certain point just because it has crossed a man-made line that states the river doesn’t belong.  Water is shared by all and doesn’t discriminate based on where it flows.

Water is Love

How magnificent that water crosses borders and links us together.  In a world that seems to have worked hard to create borders, water is like love, it’s a constant, ever flowing, bountiful…and it’s meant to be shared by everyone.

Today, in honor of World Water Day, I give extra deep gratitude for water.  The water that nourishes us, sustains us, cleanses us, protects us, revitalizes us and truly gives us life.

The following excerpt is shared from the UN World Water Day website:

The world’s 263 transboundary lake and river basins include the territory of 145 countries and cover nearly half of the Earth’s land surface. Great reservoirs of freshwater also move silently below our borders in underground aquifers.

With every country seeking to satisfy its water needs from limited water resources, some foresee a future filled with conflict. But history shows that cooperation, not conflict, is the most common response to transboundary water management issues.

Over the last 60 years there have been more than 200 international water agreements and only 37 cases of reported violence between states over water. We need to continue to nurture the opportunities for cooperation that transboundary water management can provide.

We share the responsibility for managing the world’s transboundary waters for current and future generations.

Whether we live upstream or downstream, we are all in the same boat.

As you lift your glass of (IonWays Alkaline Ionized) water today…

• give gratitude for the ease of the water coming to you through your tap, alchemized by your Athena or Delphi

• give gratitude for the fresh water on this planet,

• send love to the water basins that flow freely without boundaries and

• send love into the hearts of humanity as we cooperate compassionately in all areas of our lives…especially where water connects us.
