Write "Love" on All Your Bottles

Write "Love" on All Your Bottles

A Poem by Mark Pearce
"

This refers to the controversial studies performed by researcher Masaru Emoto. “Bottles” are metaphor for viewing others through loving perspective rather through a hateful or envious one.

"
There is a science
Of studying the crystalization of water.

Bottles of water labeled "Hope"
And "Love" and "Joy"
Produce ice crystals of
Amazing complexity and symmetry.

Bottles of water labeled "Hate"
And "Fear" and "Destruction"
Produce dull and asymmetric ice crystals.

Perhaps this is just a case
Of hopeful perspective
Or evaluator bias.

Perhaps.

But for now
I'll write "Love" on all my bottles.

Author's Note

Mark Pearce
There are many reasons why Emoto’s work cannot be accepted as fully-replicated and clinically-proven “truth,” but what does that matter if it makes you feel better to write “love” on all your bottles?

I like when science makes me want to doodle hearts on my paper . . . these are hopeful words. I'll remember them as I walk forward.

Love and science, juxtaposed nicely and expressed elegantly. What more can you ask for than that?
