Many Words only One Water.

 So on the first day of the University of Wonder, Sage, Bodhi and I started writing down words which described the forms of water. Here is that list divided into the three stages of water, Liquid, Solid and Gas. Read through them and see if we have missed anything.

Writing this list has been an edutaining process, for water is omnipresent and words to describe it are everywhere. Sage, the budding lawyer and I have had many 'discussions' on  where a particular water word falls into this list. A good example is 'mud'. When does 'Bayou' become 'mud'? When does a 'Delta' become a 'Marsh'?

All these words of water are 'Sequentially Simultaneous'. The Stream is the Sea is the Cloud is the Rain. It is just like the First Chapter of the Tao De Ching...The 'Depth' and the 'Surface' are the same thing, it is only words which make them seem different.
