Circulating Source Water is a monograph written by a retired medical doctor about humanity’s relationship with source. This story is constructed around a water conversation with a teenaged girl named Nettie, who is conflicted between her joyful childhood memories of connecting with nature and confusing unnecessary adult violence. Circulating Source Water illuminates the big picture and where balance exists within these paradoxical themes, including how the COVID-19 pandemic is a tipping point, a catalyzing event. We have an opportunity to heal our partnership with source or continue down a path of suffering with consequences resulting from our toxic singular-focus way of living. The author reminds Nettie at the edge of an abyss, options are available to those who see the big picture.
