The most basic element of life on this planet is water. WATER IS LIFE. Water is the commons uniting all life-forms in shared flourishing. Without it we cease to exist. To realign our human-centric systems, societies, and constructs with an ecocentric perspective, intelligence and design we can start with forming a communion with water- allowing it to heal us, teach us, guide us as to how we can conduct our human behavior to build relationships of reciprocity, inter-dependance, mutual flourishing, equity, and justice for ALL beings, all species, globally and for the generations to come. When we steward, protect, and ensure that ALL water is clean, flowing freely, accessible, wisely distributed, and preserved in perpetuity, we make visible our respect and understanding of the preciousness and power of water. When we stand for water's sovereign rights and for water equity, water accessibility, water protection and water conservation we embodying life-affirming ethics, putting love into action, putting wisdom into policy, putting our intelligence to work for the sake of thrivability on this planet- now and into the future. Without this noble and essential work, we will ensure our own demise and that of many species to whom we are interdependently woven with. We can and MUST do better. This is the beginning of a transition towards becoming a truly worthy species.
