Peeter Laurits 1962 Water Is Not To Be Found. 2024

Water is not to be found in strong-versus-weak, in wet- versus-dry, in movement-versus-stasis, in cold-versus- hot, in is-versus-isn’t, in deluded-versus-enlightened. When it freezes, it is harder than a diamond — who could break it? When it melts, it is softer than milk — who could break it? While this is so, one should not doubt all its ability of constantly becoming what it is. Think a little: how is it that the water of the whole world can be seen at a particular moment as the water of the whole world? The aim is not to learn how humans and celestials see water. What has to be learned is how water sees water, how water practices water and acknowledges water.
