Water

I have a thing about water.  The way it feels, the way it sounds, the way it looks, sparkling in the sun - even the way it smells, hitting the dry earth and turning the dust into growth.  Grahamstown is in a part of South Africa currently experiencing a very very serious drought, but at Rhodes we don’t really feel that.  Water still pours from our shower heads at more than 30 litres a minute - water we can drink, despite our fears and complaints.  In any case, all of this is really just to say: Look at Boston.com’s World Water Day post here.  It contains some of the most beautiful and most disturbing pictures I’ve seen in a long time, and it’ll make you think.  It even contains a picture from my part of the world…  Now you’ll go look, won’t you?  :)
