be like the water

somebody gave me a bruce lee quote to read (not that i am well acquainted with bruce lee's philosophies nor do i know much about him) and it said i should be like water.

reasons i want to be like water:

water fits into the cup and the kettle.
water is beautiful
water is ph balanced
water is supple
water is fluid
water is life-giving
it, in itself, is neither living nor non-living
water is clean, and it cleans things.
it washes away grief and grime and regrets.
water makes up oceans.
tears are made of water
water can be drank and thus consumed.
water is what tears are made of.
water can generate electricity.
water nurtures the growth of plants
water can fall from the sky when clouds burst
water is never predictable.
water may spill over and flood
water can fill a glass, or be either half empty or half full, depending how you see the world.
water can fill your lungs and drown you.
water is pure and soft.
our bodies are 70 percent water.
infants are baptised in water, and promised as a sacrement.
when water is scarce things become dry and senseless and desolate, like during a drought or famine.
water is shape-shifting
water can be blessed and made holy. you can cross yourself with it upon entering a church.
water can be turned into wine by the miracle-maker
water cools you on hot days.
it can be served with ice, which is a solid form of water.
