<p><em>Circulating Source Water</em> is a monograph written by a retired medical doctor about humanity's relationship with source. This story is constructed around a water conversation with a teenaged girl named Nettie, who is conflicted between her joyful childhood memories of connecting with nature and confusing unnecessary adult violence. <em>Circulating Source Water</em> illuminates the big picture and where balance exists within these paradoxical themes, including how the COVID-19 pandemic is a tipping point, a catalyzing event. We have an opportunity to heal our partnership with source or continue down a path of suffering with consequences resulting from our toxic singular-focus way of living. The author reminds Nettie at the edge of an abyss, options are available to those who see the big picture.</p><p><br></p>
