From Jeff:

Water is life. Without it, we don’t exist. Water can feed people and it can nourish and replenish. Water is our source of being. Look For Water means to find your source…it’s where you find bliss. It’s your holy place - your sacred space. I believe on this day we all found water together, through sound…
