Water

is the key to absolutely everything.

It is the key to all life, it is the key to all destruction (if taken down to the very core of it). After all, we, as humans are *supposed* to be about 50-60% water. Which is either half or more than half.

Most plants are up to 75% water. I don't believe I need to go into how much water is naturally occuring on practically every surface of the planet Earth, even if terribly far below ground.

My horoscope is Cancer (yes, I do follow the horoscope pre-Ophiuchus. if that works for you, great. it doesn't work for me--I am absolutely Cancer to the r), which is often referred to as the cardinal water sign. I always love being in water. Swimming is one of my favorite pasttimes. Or, floating more like. Or diving. I love showering. And recently, I've begun to truly appreciate the joy of a big glass of water. It's rejuvenating. A little disorienting, if the gulp is particularly large, but in a good way.

Kind of like standing up once you've had a biteen too much champagne in your seat. A heady rush of blood and oxygen. Almost like too many good things at once flooding your senses.

Water is controlled by the moon, tying the very element into the stars and everlasting space.

It is just so truly astonishing how much water heals. Head aches? Water. Stomach hurts? Water. Sore muscles, menstrual cramps, hangover? WATER.

And recently, an idea called the "Water Diet."
It seems to basically consist of drinking a large amount of water in addition to your meals and at particular peak times of the day. Not only does this help to lose weight, the diet claims, but some also claim to cure an absurd list of diseases.

What an altogether simple healing process.

What an idea. and not at all surprising to me.
