Water.......a Blessing
A Ritual Commitment to Our Niagara Waters

Looking across the border, yes, the shoreline you see is in Canada.
The event was sponsored by the Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper (wwwbnriverkeeper.org)
As I view these photos that I took, I am again grateful for many things.
1. That I live very close to this wonderful body of water that runs directly into the Niagara Falls.
2. That the United States and Canada , though different countries and governments, exist border to border in peace and harmony. I wish that it could be so in every country in the world.
3. That whatever happens in our lives Mother Nature never fails us and quietly, gently continues with the process of the changing seasons, the migration of the animals and the budding of flowers that will soon be in full bloom.
4. And that I continue to have the privilege of being a joyful witness to it all.

The Waters
We give thanks to all the Waters of the world for quenching our thirst and providing us with strength. Water is life. We know its power in many forms - waterfalls and rain, mists and streams, rivers and oceans. With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to the spirit of Water.
Now our minds are one.
