Handel: Water Music, Suite No. 3

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it.
If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

***** The White Salmon River in Washington state is flowing again as the nearly 100-year old Condit Dam was recently disabled with explosives. Draining the reservoir took about 2 hours. Further demolition is scheduled next year. The event is a significant milestone for river restoration and dam removal nationwide.
