What a Process
Salt water, pure water.
Undrinkable water, drinkable water.
From the beautiful ocean
as it evaporates into the crisp air
separating the salt from the water.
The soft clouds carrying these little drops of liquid.
Little drops of liquid that have the potential
to serve great health for many.
Then, the clouds release.
These drops of water falling down to the tall,
green mountains
sinking through the rich soil
through the rough volcanic rock of O`ahu.
Taking about twenty-five years to fully complete.
The phenomenal process of purifying water.
What a complex process.
What a meaningful process.
The health of this generation,
the health of the future generations depend on water.
Life itself depends on water.
Pure water.
