Eroding Away

Eroding Away, originally uploaded by MonkeyPaw2u.

Water is the most powerful thing in the universe. It is weak enough to be penetrated, yet strong enough to hold up an entire fleet of ships. Water is flexible enough to be fit in any vessle yet strong enough to erode rock.

Be like water and rule the world.
