water

The other day I woke up to discover I had no water.  It happens.  The wind blows, the electric blinks, and sometimes the circuit to the well pump doesn't come on and the result is no running water.  The problem is I have a shared well and the circuitry is in the neighbors basement and unless I or someone else breaks into their house it won't get fixed.

At any rate, I found myself needing to get ready for work and there's not enough water to make coffee let alone take a shower.  To make matters worse, I was working outside the day before in the heat and humidity and felt pretty scuzzy.

A quick inventory showed I had almost one full bottle of water and another bottle with about two cups.  I opted to take the nearly full bottle to work and make due with the remaining two cups, just enough to brush my teeth and take a whores bath.

My meager two cups of water was enough for me to get by that morning.  It bothered me that I couldn't get what I wanted when I wanted it but there was no hardship.  It was simply a little inconvenient and I knew I'd have a shower waiting for me when I got back.  After all, humans can go a whole day without water before any serious complications set in and this was only a temporary situation.  But still, I felt a deep reverence for this clear liquid that can easily be the only thing between life and death.  A human can last for weeks without food but more than a day without water can leave you in dyer straights, and dieing of thirst is an ugly way to go.  Imagine the hangover that finally kills you and you'll get the picture.


~Just a side note... I seem to be obsessed with water, lately.  Turning on every faucet I pass just to watch and feel the cool, colorless liquid flow over my hands and quaffing gallons a day, with or without ice. Later that day, when my running water was fully restored, I discovered I had more water on hand than I realized.  Five quarts in the fridge, a half gallon in the freezer, three gallons in the store room, and two quarts in my car.  Have I been subconsciously stocking up for a time when I'll really need it?
Hmmmmmm........

The day before, I watched a movie called The Book of Eli, about a post-apocalyptic world where a nuclear exchange left a large hole in the sky, allowing the sun's full force to fry and blister the landscape, making water an extremely precious commodity.  The movie's protagonist managed to get by, as did everyone else who still survived, with drops from long dead faucets, possessions from hygiene-free, cannibalistic low lifes, and the occasional feral cat.

We're a far cry from that scenario but survivors in that potential situation are infinitely more equipped to handle a lack of water than your typical post-baby boomer.  Today's McDonalds generation humanoid will go into melt down if their phone doesn't get a signal, or they don't get their HFCS/aspartame-laden fluid du jour, or be able to take 20 minute showers on demand.

We all tend to take for granted Earth's ability to provide an abundant supply of water through evaporation, the formation of clouds, and rain in a seemingly endless cycle of unlimited life-ensuring fluids that we think it's going to be this way til the end of time.

Perhaps, but doesn't the Mayan calendar say the end of time will arrive in a little more than a year?  Think we should stock up?   

I was working in the lab late last night

The last unit didn't seem strong enough to suit me so I set out to modify it's design.  Rather than a central core of extremely high density material with a hollow shaft running through it I decided I needed a central core more like a large bagel surrounded by less dense orgonite.

Searching for the proper mold for this project wasn't as easy as it seems.  Where can you find a mold that closely resembles an over-sized bagel?  It got to the point where I was eying up the bagels in Walmart, thinking I could coat one with polyurethane to make a plaster mold.  After making a suitable clay mold I discovered the perfect mold was the plastic housing the weed wacker string comes in.
 
Long story short, I made the inner ring and was contemplating what to use for an outer mold when I thought it might be a good idea to see how this thing works.

I hooked up the inner mobius to the amplified frequencies, inserted an orgonite ball, and felt this unit sing.  Only half way complete and it's already many times more effective than the last unit with twice the range.  Assisting me in this project, The Canuck chimed in with, "Put it under water.  Let's see if it makes waves, eh?"  Hmmmm...  not a bad idea, so I soldered a couple water proof extensions and dropped it in a large pyrex bowl full of water with the expectation of seeing the energy creating patterns on the surface.  Yeah, there were some rhythmic ripples but that was nothing compared to the totally unexpected rush of energy emanating from this bowl.  On it's own, this unit puts out some good, raw energy but immersed in water seems to take the edge off it while increasing the flow.  You can feel the energy field around it, like the flame on a candle, with no loss of power as high as I could reach.  This set The Canuck to tingling.

I left the ring on and spent the night laughing in my sleep.

Sweet dreams, indeed.
