Drinkable Light

I am currently reading Masaru Emoto's book The Shape of Love. He is a Japanese scientist who devloped a technique to photograph water crystals. He discovered that water crystals react to our words and thoughts and became misshapen and disorganized when exposed to negativity, and more symmetrical and radiant when exposed to words of love and gratitude. As the human body is chiefly composed of water his findings pose much interesting speculation.

He has some further theories on human evolution and development--a bit farfetched perhaps, but intriguing. He believes that water arrived on earth from space, and that we are indeed from "out there", also.

What I have found most intriguing is that he believes intuitively that light may be determined to be in reality a manifestation of water------this led me to thinking about "drinkable light" and "liquid light"-----as perceived on a sultry summer night---and also more cosmically-----as that Inner Light within, that lives and streams through all humanity. The Inner Light is a concept familiar to me from having attended Quaker meeting many moons ago-----and as an old myrmaid I am truly comfortable with being immersed in "drinkable light"......

August's gibbous moon
streams silvery liquid heat
through wide flung windows.

We are two dreamers, dreamless,
adrift in drinkable light.

Full-throated pond frogs
chant their mantras
till dawn.

We are two sinners, sinless,
washed clean this summer night.
