Waters of Change

The world is a series of ever changing shapes, in this it is essentially easy to understand why most of our planet is made up of water. Water is one of the most malleable of compounds. It can be a solid, a liquid, even a gas. Water much like the people of the world is constantly changing, often sustaining life, sometimes destroying it! It takes on so many shapes there is no distinct view of what water really is, nor what its full potential could be. This makes water so like the human race because of it volatile nature, and its complex adaptive systems. Given time water can change landscapes, seep into cracks unseen by the human eye and then change shape by freezing and given enough time can destroy entire buildings, roads, and bridges. This is comparible to human beings who over time have changed the entire landscape of the world, building empires of brick, masonry, and timber. These changes of the scope of our world are monumental to be put lightly and one can only wonder when our time to change shape will be, when we inadvertently destroy a metaphoric bridge or building that is the world we live in.
