Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

It is easy to ignore how dependent we are of the basics of life when they are all around you. For example if you have water running out of the tap at will you will not think about it. There are several ways to get water in less acomadating areas if you just use common sense: For example you can use the sun light and heat to purify water by putting water in a plastic bottle and leaving it on a metal roof or even a piece of till foil and throughout the day the heat and sun will make the water safer to drink. Another way is of course to use heat differences to seperate water from the air. For example you can use a dark plastic bag and bury it in the ground like an ant nest and over the night vapor will condence enough for you to use. A lot of vegetation can be sweated out by putting it in a plastic bag or any other form of a green house. The other side of this balance whould be to keep water inside of you. Moving slowly and when the temperture is lower in hot climates is one example. Another would be to to create shelter which protects your body from cold. When our body creates heat we also loose water in the process and in the cold it is easier not to be aware of it and become weak. Take care of yourself and listen to what the body tells you.
