Origin
Vienna. Austria. Danube.
“You are not a drop in an ocean. You are an entire ocean in a drop” - Poem by Rumi
Fossil records indicate that the nautilus has not evolved much during the last 500 million years. The water in your body is just visiting. It was a thunderstorm a while ago and it will return to the ocean soon enough. The origin starts with you. How we treat our emotional, spiritual and physical body shows us how we treat the environment.
Additionally, when we learn that 10 of the largest rivers worldwide transport 90% of the entire plastic waste into our oceans – one begins to wonder whether beach clean ups are really that impactful when the origin starts with where we’re at. Whether we’re landlocked or at the coastline, the oxygen we breathe comes from the sea.
