Water is powerful. Water lies low, lower than the land.

Water is us. We and all life on earth contain water.

Water is subtle. Water is soft yet water can erode rock.

Water is the ocean. The ocean can be a metaphor for God.

Rivers flow to the sea. Tributaries and streams do the same.

All rivers, streams and tributaries join the ocean.

There are many streams to the ocean as there are many ways to God.
