Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @angellovekind using @RepostRegramApp – Water is our word for the moment. Clean, clear, water 💧. “There is no small pleasure in pure water” (Ovid). Water is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless element, which is the main constituent of Earth’s hydrosphere and the fluids of most living organisms. It is vital for all known forms of life, even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients.

Water is essential. We run our taps now more than ever as we wash our hands frequently throughout the day to mitigate #covid. We drink up to 8 glasses a day to stay hydrated. It has been used in #baptisms since the start of #christianity – performed by sprinkling or pouring water on the head, or by immersing in water. Earth is the only known planet in this universe to have water. Our bodies are made up of 2/3 water and we can’t survive more than three days without it. Approximately 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation. 1.8 million people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases, including 90 % of children under 5. There are currently 5 trillion pieces of plastic waste in the world’s oceans, according to The Ocean Cleanup @theoceancleanup , a project dedicated to ridding the ocean of waste.

As we consider our blessings on #eastermonday, let’s be mindful about water. It is our most precious life sustaining resource. Let’s preserve it, protect it and purify it #withkindness because if we don’t, the taps will run dry.

**If you haven’t already seen the Academy award nominated film (we think it should have won Best Foreign Language Film!) “Water” by Hindu Canadian 🇨🇦 filmmaker #DeepaMehta and starring the exquisite, former longtime #Toronto resident actress/model/author @lisaraniray (her luminous performance will leave you breathless), watch it on #netflix . The symbolism of water will not be lost…
