Read these words about water by Raymond
Carver:
Where Water Comes Together with Other Water
I love creeks and the music they make.
And rills, in glades and meadows, before
they have a chance to become creeks.
I may even love them best of all
for their secrecy. I almost forgot
to say something about the source!
Can anything be more wonderful than a spring?
But the big streams have my heart too.
And the places streams flow into rivers.
The open mouths of rivers where they join the sea.
The places where water comes together
with other water. Those places stand out
in my mind like holy places....
~ Raymond Carver
(You can read "Where Water Comes Together
with Other Water" in its entirety here.)
Now, set a timer for fifteen minutes and write about water, whether it's a tribute to a particular body of water that is important to you/one of your characters (as Sunset Beach is to me), or a litany to places "where water comes together with other water," or a celebration of streams, ponds,
waterfalls...
Or just include a body of water in a scene, story, essay, or poem.
