Book excerpt: For twenty-five years John Archer has been obsessed by water. His fascination has led him to remote temples where water is worshipped as a living deity, to hot volcanic springs and icy waterfalls, to limpid pools hidden deep in the forest. John has drunk the water dinosaurs drank in the Jurassic swamps, sucked dew from the grasstree flowers at dawn, sipped the sulphurous healing waters of Sukayu in the mountains of northern Japan, and bathed in the legendary Golden Lotus tank at Madurai. He has recorded the legends of water, studied its rituals, and worshipped it with reverence in holy places. He has listened to the rhythms of the waves on the shore, to the sound patterns of lakes, small streams and majestic rivers. And now he distils his extraordinary discoveries in The Wisdom of Water, exploring the many beautiful and mystical aspects of water, and why water has always been and remains precious beyond imagining. John Archer is an author of twenty books, including six on water preservation. His most recent book is Twenty Thirst Century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water Wisdom is presented by the author with the hope that it might resonate in some small way with something deep within the reader; helping each to reconnect with an inner voice, their guide that waits in plain view, but is often hidden by the noise of the world. This guide is in reality one's true Self. In deep silence our higher mind touches the Soul and in that instant all is revealed. That is why we all need to retire from time to time from the world and in quiet contemplation replenish ourselves. This journey when understood is a great joy. It may seem long but it is not a journey of distance. It is a journey of mental adjustment. It is a journey of realization. This is the quest that our hero, Hall, finds himself on in Water Wisdom. This is the quest, which, all of us uniquely find ourselves on today.
