Water is Still Water...

I've found water to be a subject in my photos in all seasons of the year. Summer - after the rain, or spring, when snow is melting and water flows swiftly over and around the roots of a tree in its path.
In winter and when the conditions are right, water can form beautiful crystals on last fall's plant stalk.
What is amazing to me is that in all of these conditions, water is still water, just in a different form. I have read about how people simply could look to water as the model and emulate its steadiness and ability to flow through and around obstacles. I thought I understood, but it showed up again in a book I've been reading and struck a deeper place in me. I've met just a handful of people who are the same, steady people, no matter what the circumstance. They are constant in their actions and in how they see life and seem to weather what life puts in their path. Like water!
I realize it takes practice to be that steady, and it takes discipline to practice daily, being awake and allowing things to flow. At a deeper level now, I continue to practice being the same steady (consistent?) person, no matter what shows up in my path.
