As I watch the water explore the air faithfully, I wonder where it comes from. It rises and it falls. I want to be able to approach its origin, discover why the water is compelled to rise and fall. There simply must be a source. This violent display of rising and falling cannot exist without reason. Alas, my searching is futile. The rising and falling continue in spite of my ignorance. Will the explosions of water always rise and fall? Will they perhaps cease if I find the very reason they faithfully rise and fall? Or will I forever be impelled to passively watch this persistent rising and falling? I’m slowly beginning to give up the search and started just hoping these monotonous eruptions stop.
