Two young fish swimming along happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way. He nods at them and says “Morning boys. How’s the water?” The two young fish swim on for a bit, and then one of them looks over at the other and says “What the heck is water?”
The moral of the fish story: Fish are the last one's to recognise water. In other words, the most obvious, important realities in your life are often the ones that are hardest to see and difficult to talk about. Knowledge is nothing, awareness is everything; awareness of what is real and essential, yet so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over that's it's there.
"How's the water boys?"

Hey Richardo
As a young acting student,
our awareness was promoted;
we were encouraged to ask ourselves
constantly during the day
"how do I feel right now?"
