Introduction, Session 13: The Power of Water
In "Sing to the Power," a Tapestry of Faith program
Can we be like drops of water
Falling on the stone,
Splashing, breaking, dispersing in air
Weaker than the stone by far, but be aware
That as time goes by the rock will wear away. — Holly Near, singer/songwriter and activist
The power of water is the power of flexibility, creativity, and persistence. Water finds a way through the tiniest available channel. Water creates change over time. Participants learn how the force of water carved the massive Grand Canyon, over millions of years. A game, Rocks vs. Water, demonstrates water's ability to move past obstacles. Participants explore the real-world power of flexibility and creativity by working on scenarios in which two groups have opposing goals. In the Human Knots game, participants physically experience the water power of working together to explore options and find solutions.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
