Y'know, I've been thinking about this one ever since you posted it, but in my opinion, water does not derive clarity from stillness, it derives stagnance. I'll keep moving, thank you very much. :)
I've watched how the surface of the lake becomes glass-like most evenings when the breeze dies and sometimes after a storm, so I could agree with this ...partly. Moving water, watching the river run however, seems to be where I end up when I need to really think.
:) I have been enjoying the stillness of mine, Tint. Have a good Sunday my dear.

ReplyDeleteI was thinking that too, Kippy...but muddy water does get clear if it sits. Or until the dogs tromp through it again.
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of those absolutely still days in which buildings and trees are perfectly reflected in the water's surface.
ReplyDeleteSo then if a mind is still, it reflects its surroundings? I like that thought :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat way to put it, Kathleen!
