Even just ankle deep, if you stand in flowing water that a creek or gurgling river rushes and caresses through toes, yours, as the feet that hold you all day long are tended, your eyes notice more. Nature works this way. She has no fee. These are ecosystems that participate towards equilibrium 24/7 and 365, repetitive cycles towards health.
