Yesterday I went to this exhibition thinking it would only take and hour to explore. 3 hours later I left not being able to read every piece of text. I asked the display minders if I could take photos because I cant read fast and they said well ummm um, how about we just go to the next pod and we wont see anything. They were great. When you walk in you have to pass through a thin stream of mist that is bright blue with the word water in various languages and its confronting. The brain doesn't know quite what to do with it. Here are some photos and quotes from that exhibition.
"And Godde sends down water from the skies giving life thereby to the earth after it had been lifeless." Quran
"The stone in the water does not comprehend how parched the hill is" Traditional West African Saying
"Sometimes men need the wind most, at other times water from the sky, rainy descendants of the cloud...... Greek Poet Pindar
"The highest good is like water. Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive. It flows in places men reject and so it is like to TAO" The Tao
"All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place whence rivers come, tither they return again." Bible
"The quality of mercy is not strain'd, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven." Shakespeare
