WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WATER SETTLES?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WATER SETTLES?

Jan 26, 2023

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WATER SETTLES?


What happens when the water settles? I'd like one to ponder the question.

A pond or a pool might come to mind.

What happens when the water settles? It may look peaceful for a moment, an hour, or even a few days.

But when the water settles, a change takes place all for the worse.


When the water settles, it begins to stagnate.

When the water stagnates it becomes a cesspool for all sorts of bacteria and organisms.

When the water is filled with these bacteria, what it once was is corrupted by its new destiny.

When the water is corrupted by its new destiny, it is hardly what it once was.


I'd like one to ponder water that is in movement. 

I'd like one to ponder a river, a pool that is swam in, a pond that is rippled by rocks.

This water is changed by the movement, but in this movement it doesn't have time to stagnate.

This water is influenced by external sources, yes, but it stays pure all the same. 


Think of a raging river, constantly winding, but never having the possibility to remain comfortable.

But in its movement the river is always calm, so proves the sound it emits. 

The water unmoved is a water that is dirty and unable to be new.

A raging river no matter how rough, how dangerous, is always new and different.

The pond with rocks berating it's surface, ripples and moves beautifully. 

The water moved is the water that is new.

Don't be afraid to move.

This book is a collection of short stories and poems that mostly pertain to aspects of human life. Things such as technology, emotions, or notions society holds are questioned in interesting, yet ambiguous ways. Each story's meaning is entirely up to the individual reader.

There are 19 total short stories to enjoy and dissect. Each story is no more than a few pages, and were all written that way intentionally for bite sized reading. (There may be a lot of pages in the entirety of this piece, but can easily be put down after each story.)
