I can't help but think that this was so, not just because of your writing skill, but also because you permitted the spirit of the land and water to sing through you. It was never far from my awareness that in writing about water you were also writing about a primal force. I hope I'm not stepping out of bounds in telling you, That is your true voice, JudyJudith Mercadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739476600999112092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-14242244707927311932010-10-17T16:59:46.512+02:002010-10-17T16:59:46.512+02:00TRICIA: Water is such a precious resource.

I wrote this bog post ahead of time, when I was *so* sick with a throat abscess I couldn't concentrate. So I just sat and wrote it without trying to think about what I was saying - I just wrote. The lesson I must learn from your encouraging words is that I must SWITCH OFF THE INTELLECT when I write - my writing is always more honest when I do that! Thanks! :)<br /><br />ANITA: Too true!

That's when the culling starts, to protect the environent so that it can sustain life. I wonder what it'll take to save the environment from humanity?<br /><br />NANCY: Thanks for the heads up Nancy.

SA is such a contrast though - we have our dry desert & semi-desert areas and our wetlands & subtropical forests, and practically everything in between. Although our weather patterns are changing and affecting our usual rainfalls - something to monitor.<br /><br />MARILYN: :) It's not the photo, it's Injisuthi, quite possible Heaven on earth!Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-46709161583874175712010-10-14T01:44:15.847+02:002010-10-14T01:44:15.847+02:00This was fascinating, Judy.

Our work was mainly focused on petroleum exploration and production. Once, we had a visiting researcher from a university in India, working with us for half a year. He often said: "in India water is more important than oil". He worked in fresh-water exploration (the geophysical methods used in petroleum and ground water exploration is pretty much the same). In Winterland, we have abundance of clean drinking water running off the mountains (like you have in SA). I had never thought about the fact that someone was exploring for water, a resource we have always taken for granted.<br /><br /><a href="http://cold-as-heaven.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Cold As Heaven </a>CA Heavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558100567878233142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-44586253845799570552010-10-13T14:53:34.707+02:002010-10-13T14:53:34.707+02:00Wonderful Judy!
