Sitting the majority of the day at a computer leads my mind to the knowledge of the absolute need for there to be more. It’s been said by Him, and over and over by those who love Him, that “Blessed are the hungry for they will be filled. Blessed are the thirsty for they will be satisfied.” The thing about hunger and thirst is that it is easy to ignore until it’s too late and you’ve reached the point of starvation or dehydration. I’ve heard that when you actually are thirsty , the body is already in a beginning stage of dehydration. It is quite a task to keep  the body hydrated. The Nalgenes of the 90′s and early 00′s. The recalls of the mid oo’s when they found the bottles were emitting poison into the water they held. I carry a bottle of water in my purse most of the time. I wouldn’t want to be found thirsty with no way of instantly finding satisfaction. That is just irresponsible in this day and age of running water, electricity, and power that pollutes the water we can’t drink anyway. And yet, in the convenience of it all, I sometimes just don’t want to drink any more. I don’t want to move. I don’t want to have to go to the bathroom for the 10th time today. That’s probably the biggest problem: the bathroom factor. The more you drink, the more you excrete (I feel like Rev. Jesse Jackson should have come up with that one!) I guess that is the nature (on a roll now!) of it all; you take in a pure substance like water, and it forces impurity to come out, while also causing the rest of the system to work together seamlessly. Oh for the day when I don’t wait for thirst as a prerequisite for drinking, but rather move into the place of taking in that I may never thirst again.
