“But more powerful by far was the refreshment to my soul.”
—THE SEVEN PATHS
“Although I was angry with all creation—cursing at every hill, swinging at every tree, reviling every valley, kicking at every stream—try as I might, I couldn’t stay mad at the water.
I tried, oh how I tried—for I hated life itself. But every day, by bending to the stream to take a drink, I was nevertheless choosing to live. Think of it. The cool drinks refreshed my body, to be sure. But more powerful by far was the refreshment to my soul.
The life that I had hated I now thirsted to save. And with each saving drink, those who had given me life seemed more worthy of salvation as well. Water was moistening my heart.”
