Water
I find I can truly ground myself amid trees, animals, and Oklahoma plains, curves, mountains, rivers, creeks, and lakes. Granted, the heat here is rather wet- a humidity that can zap one's energy before you even get to your car from your dwelling. The cicadas are no longer filling the air with screams after emerging from the ground and temperatures are no longer causing heat advisories through the state.

Ice Water
Water disobeys the Particle Theory of Matter; rather than contracting when cold, water expands. For complicated reasons, the molecules spread out instead of huddling together despite the fact they are indeed in a crystalline lattice and vibrating in a solid state. Yes, that means that frozen water is a mineral. Anyway, the PToM, as it pertains to water was one of my favourite topics to explain when I taught children because it sets the perfect example of how much life, like people, frequently refuses to follow the common rules of engagement.

Mount Nyiragongo recently erupted, and here's why it's one of Africa's most deadly Volcanos.
Mount Nyiragongo is never quiet. A constant lake of lava boiling within the summit crater of the high volcano in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the few places on the planet.
