"Drops.
Water cleanses,
Gathers in the earth.
Tender. Invasive. Subtle.
Emerges a shining river.
When small, it is weak.
When great, it tumbles mountains,
Rendering great cliffs
Sand"
I could posit water is the most powerful force known. World shaping force; this softly opaque fog, these pounding falls, asteroid shattering ice! Yet without the Valley Spirit it gently rests there benign. We are also water. We are also Valley Spirit. Tao.
