Water and blood flow throughout our bodies and give us life. Feelings of peace, sadness, anxiety, anguish, joy and tears, love, and agony are part of our human condition. Water purifies our bodies. Blood is the lubricant that gives energy to our vital organs. Water and blood do not discriminate against the feelings that we
