Surface Interplay

The surface membrane of a lake or any water at its boundaries is a different form of water entirely. Termed the “fourth phase of water” by science researcher Gerald Pollack, it is more of a stacked liquid crystal form somewhere between bulk water and ice. It acts as an intelligent membrane on a lake surface and in our cells, both excluding unwanted material and transmitting vital information through its liquid crystalline form. Seeing the lake surface membrane respond to falling raindrops is a beautiful, mesmerizing display of this unique form of water, with its array of circular radiating and interacting patterns constantly changing. I always resonate with these surface membrane patters within my own fluid body, like a whispered message from the creator, reminding me to pay attention to what is vital and life-sustaining.
