Flowing

Along the Appian Way

When you visit Roma, your thirst can be readily quenched along the way.

In the Roman Forum

There are many fountains of flowing water. You may refill your water bottle or catch it in your hands to splash your hot, dusty face

or quench your parched throat.

In a Roman alleyway

 

There is no need for countless disposable plastic water bottles filled with

stale tasting water. One reusable container is all you need.

And as the hostess of the B&B where we stayed assured us - it is safe to drink.

On the Janiculum hill

"Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it,

all you feel is a caress.

Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you.

But water always goes where it wants to go,

and nothing in the end can stand against it.

Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone.

Remember that my child. Remember you are half water.

If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it.

Water does."

~ Margaret Atwood
