From Eli, Chili, WI:

From Kenna, Kentucky:
As I ripple through this huge galaxy of creatures, It's lonely in this big ole' pool of mysterious things. I sometimes wish i could be the soft, silky,green grass people feel in between their toes or the sand on the beach where people lay for hours soaking up the suns rays. But I have to say I love being this baby blue ripples that never stop flowing.

From Kirsten, Ballard, KY:
Water. Water in general is amazing. It hydrates, Cleans, Helps, Saves lives, and many other beautiful things. Water. We'll never run out. Its beautiful. Calm. Peaceful. It's ... Life .

As I fall down from the sky into puddles, I see the world that lies underneath me. People walking, cars driving, creatures stanlking and way more. I see the ocean and wonder when will I land there and end my journeys, but for now my aim is for a puddle in a ditch. ill wait for time to take its toll and float back up to my lovely home waiting to fall just right to land in the ocean and have adventures to last a lifetime.
