DAY.FOUR> Cohesion!! (High School AP BIO)

Sunday is church day. Plain and simple. I have a traditional service in the morning that I am obligated to go to and then one of my choice at night, I have been going to Centerpoint in Bellmore. It's great - solid music, message, and people. There is a lake right outside the church on Merrick road I've sat at before. I think something about water just fascinates me. I mean God had to LOVE it too if - what is it 70% of the world - is covered with water? When it is raging it is obvious how much damage it can do but when it is still - the power is still there, I can really feel it. It's a simple reality really. So many forms - rain, lakes, oceans, showers, tap water, list can go on. Here is what I was thinking though.

The powerful cohesion of water - together it is so powerful it can carve a path through MOUNTAINS AND STONE ex through the grand canyon, many other places in the world? Like what? well..google it. It's a little something called Erosion. If you don't know what that is well, to be honest I'm really talking to people over 13 years and older here. I'm sorry. So back to this concept - together so powerful, alone so simple. I sit in my car as it rains and watch the water from my windshield form its own identity. It does not care that it is one drop. It is determined to make more of itself by adding more and more to itself and in turn becoming something bigger, with more meaning perhaps - a force to be reckoned with!

Get where I am going yet? I don't think that just because we don't THINK we can do something we shouldn't do it. I think everything is worth a try. I used to have a philosophy that I'd do anything once - my friend introduced me to one that made me want to change that statement to I'll try anything at least twice. Give your situation/cause/drama/relationship a chance - we can't change the world overnight. But we can't give up on these things. They are too important.

I was at the beach today too, and yes - I know it is the end of October. I manned up. What I ended today with was that water is a powerful force. It can teach us a lot. But save yourself the trouble and remember to remind yourself that we have the potential to be the ocean, rapids, the river, the lake, or just the puddle. Which one are you now? Which one do you want to be?
