"Wine into water takes a big bureaucracy to sustain, whereas water as a life-force is a much easier message to keep going."
My brain has been addled with this thread all night (because it is important to me!), and looking at the salty sea this morning, it occurred to me that "wells are, of course 'sacred'. If we don't view the source of life itself as worth protecting, then we deserve all we get.
A scientist may scoff at the tradition of dressing a well, it doesn't make sense, 'water is water', right, No-one needs to dress up the spectacle? What boring rubbish. Celebrate life! Protect it, Respect it, pass it on to our children. And YES it IS beautiful. Some see a mountain eating the sun and the sky covered in blood, some see pollution particles refracting the light of a giant ball of heat, as a chunk of rock we sit on revolves. I'm nowhere between, but somewhere around.
