water

The water which sees the air through 

broken veins of the high mountain summits is suddenly 

abandoned by the power which brought it there, 

and escaping from these forces 

resumes its natural course in liberty. 

Likewise the water that rises 

from the low roots of the vine to its lofty head 

falls through the cut branches upon the roots and 

mounts anew to the place whence it fell. 

~ Leonardo Da Vinci
