A walk in the woods

            I took a long walk in the woods this morning and I felt like I was stepping into a forsaken sanctuary with its silence and its frozen trees; as if all the life left it along with summer's heat. The water of the lake reflecting the grey sky with the imperceptible motion of the clouds brought on my lips the words of a well known song "ike no mizu ga kagami mitai ni sora no ao no iro wo maneteru / kouen ni sumu mizu tori ga sore ni inochi wo ataeru ..."
            The wind moving gentle the surface of the water.
            Water..  the most versatile and powerful element on the earth.There's an old saying in china "women are made of water" (..and men of mud - or something like this) -maybe because they cry more,or maybe because of the fragile balance of yin and yang .. 
As for me, I already know that water flows inside me, it is my force .
