Take almost any path you please, and ten to one it carries you down in a dale, and leaves you there by a pool in a stream. There is magic in it. Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries – stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region… Yes, as everyone knows, water and meditation are forever wedded. - Herman Melville
