A still body of water may provide some nourishment and even become an environment for other organisms who choose to use the mass of liquid. Yet, it is dependent on another force to change the equilibrium.
Yet, when the water begins to run, there is a possibility. It can shape, it carries, and it penetrates new untouched areas. The over-abundance can even create destruction.
Do we choose to remain still or be running water? One can create an impact. The other will always be at the mercy of the resolve of others.
