The C&O Canal's Widewater exudes the joyous energy of spring. It is full to the brim, it's vitality fed by spring rains and the run-off from small streams. The water dances and sparkles in the brilliant midday sunshine, reflecting the blue of a cloudless sky. At the end of Widewater, a small overflow outlet, normally unused and silent, is gurgling with the rhythm and abundance of the place.
Points to ponder . . .
What creates "joyous energy" in your life? What is its source?
How are individuals and groups in your life affected by high water? Low water?
How could you change the "water level" of your life? The life of a group?
