Only yesterday, I noticed that one stands not far from my house.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\">During the first table reading there were a couple of questions about the symbol of the water tower and the town being named Bridge Water. Ian said there was no intentional use of water as a symbol. I grabbed a couple of my notes on water from <em>This Random World<\/em> just for fun. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-brown-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Water represents spirit and connections. It is transience, dynamic. Water purifies. Water is life. Water represents one and all. It is a drop, a puddle, a stream, a lake. Fluidity. Water is transition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\">On an episode of Star Talk, Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about water towers. This was uploaded in 2018 and you can really feel the date. At the conclusion, the co-hosts quips about never washing his hands which sounds weird in these pandemic days we live in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Don&#039;t Get Neil Tyson Started on Water Towers\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VAn5xYpbVR8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Mess by Ian Paul Messersmithdirected by Sarah Campbelldramaturgy by Ariana Burnspacket prepared Summer 2020 (Moscow Idaho&#8217;s Rotary Park water tower photo by Elaina Pierson) Water Tower LGBT+ CEOS Coming out after 30 Small Town Mattering LGBT+ &amp; AA I am still finding things about water and water towers that strike my fancy so I&#8217;ve &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/2020\/08\/22\/happy-mess-dramaturgy-packet-water-tower-part-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Happy Mess\u2013Dramaturgy Packet\u2013Water Tower-Part 2&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,11],"tags":[10,27,9,38,34,13],"class_list":["post-379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dramaturg","category-theatre","tag-dlpanotherfinemess","tag-dramaturg","tag-dramaturgy","tag-happy-mess","tag-ruminating","tag-theatre"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":405,"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379\/revisions\/405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nwhellcats.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
