Today I visited a local spring for the second time, and it still amazes me. I originally found it through FindASpring.org - a really cool site where you can just enter your zip code and see if there are any natural springs near you. Some are safe for drinking, while others are more for swimming or just relaxing nearby.
The spring I went to is on a someone’s private property. His wife is a hydrologist and regularly tests the water for safety and purity. They view the spring as a gift meant to be shared, so they graciously open it up to the public. Anyone is welcome to come collect water from their tap for free. They've even set up a little bench by the stream where visitors can sit and enjoy the view, surrounded by a beautiful garden.
Wild mint grows along the water’s edge, and there are butterflies, bees, spiders - so much life all around. It is truly living water.
Raw, local spring water is the best. All of the minerals and probiotics in tact - and from a beautiful place I can visit to fill up. I feel grateful to the family who blesses people with this gift.
If you haven’t checked out any local springs, I definitely recommend taking a look at findaspring.org.
