Script for Forest Time: Water @i_park.ct
We were water babies. Bodies of water. 85% at birth we lose moisture as we age on average up to 40% in a lifetime. Created by two bodies caught in a flow, born from a watery womb, released into this drying world. Water bodies, aquatic monkeys, arboreal Pisces with warm blood and limbs.
Our lungs are 83% water. Our skin 64%. The brain and heart are 73. Our bones are 31. The Earth’s surface is mostly water, 71%, most of which, 96% is saline and found in oceans. Glaciers and icecaps contain most of our fresh water, 68% but only make up 1.74 percent of our planetary water supply. Ground water, swamp water, rivers and lakes make up even less than glaciers. Biological water, body water, in animals and humans makes up around .0003 percent of Earth’s water supply.
All the water that ever was is around us now. In the ground, in the sky, in the trees, in the lakes and streams, the ocean, in us. Imagine the same water you drink today was inside another body a hundred thousand years ago.
