WATER. Water is the element that most people associate with calm. Hearing the trickling sounds of water, seeing the water. Especially in Bali water, holds a very specific significance. Concerning purification,  life and sustainability in the agricultural traditions of the island. In essence, water is central to us.

BIRDS. Some birds are migratory, like the shorebirds. Just to live they have to be near water. Water is the primary aspect of survival for living things. Migratory birds travel vast distances in search of warmer climates and good water conditions. We as human beings are not so different. We depend on water.

The flight of birds show us that living creatures need to move in harmony with this energy. They need it for their collective survival. We can learn from the flight of birds and their respect for water.
