All things address us as "Thou."


Running water sounds to me like it is addressing me in a long, drawn-out "Thou" (Thaaaaaa-www"), reminding me that ALL things grasp and hold our attention with their own subjective presence.  Only when we perceive the subjectivity present within all things - including even rocks, mountains, skies, lakes and streams - will we begin to care for them as our brothers and sisters, and as embodiments of the Divine.
