Water element of life
"Wherever there is water, life can become active in the material world; where there is no water this possibility ceases. Water is essentially the element of life, wherever possible it wrests life from death. It is the great healer of all that is sick and has lost its living poise [...]. Thus it brings together elements hostile to one another, constantly creating something new out of them."
(Theodor Schwenk, Sensitive Chaos: The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air (1965), trans. O. Whicher and J. Wrigley [New York: Schocken Books, 1978], 96)
