John Smith

Since I was very young I have always loved the great gift, water. If there was a pool I was in it. If there was a creek I was there. As an older person who reflects on such things I am reminded about all our shared needs and how we all have so much in common. Just one of them is our need of water.

Putting my Art education to the test I thought I would design a water system for me and my family, the only thing left was to find it, harness and deliver it. It was in the woods and the woods was a very comfortable place for me. After high school I sought adventures in rock climbing, kayaking and more. This life on the edge taught me so much I wanted to apply it to something really useful like harnessing a spring and improving life for my family. Call it an age stage.

The outdoors have played a major role in my life from general camping to big wall climbing in the mighty Yosemite. Adventure can also take place inside yourself. This deep dive inwardly opens doors you never knew you had. I have examined words like I examine my life. How do words from others affect me and my willingness to allow it to further affect me. Thus I believe this is God letting me know to pivot or sway from a bad life to a good one on a day to day basis. In short living the silver lining without losing your grounding. Seeing art in the moment and the creator in everyone is the love. And water is that love, we are made of it, we all have to have it and there is plenty for everyone. Please enjoy my first book on springs.
