It is so simple that it frightens me. We ourselves are a story of water — biologically and culturally, in our most elemental materiality and our mightiest metaphors.

We need nature — water, sun, air — to survive, but she doesn’t really need us. She is generous to us, but she has some conditions, and we have to respect them.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.
