Water Power

Last night was a joy in digging.  It's a male thing - attempting to control nature's natural flow of water.  Almost like a war, we try to control how, when and where water flows.  My specific problem was correcting the clog in the drain from the roof's gutter.  This project required digging up the PVC underground drain to the point of outlet into a underground rocky drainage pit. 

Even with all our technology, water can not be controlled - it will erode, evade, enter, and exit where it desires over time.  Patiently it can out wait any obstacles.  The best visual of this is the Grand Canyon - simply a beautiful truth about water flow and it's power. 

Directing water where you think you want it to travel is just a short term dream.  Canals and locks are great man-made inventions attempting to demonstrate man's ability to contol nature.  But most those man-made rivers have not stood the test of time. 

My project was successful - for now.  Until the water decides where it really want's to go.
