Water: Your Masterstroke

I am continually impressed with water, in all of its forms and uses. How the heck did you think of having water form in clouds high above the earth's surface and then rain down upon it? This is pure genius (in case you take your powers for granted).

Over the last few days, I found myself swimming in a huge body of water called the Caribbean Sea. What a joy to dip below the surface, pop back up, swim in any direction I choose, float on my back, and start the cycle all over again. At lunch one day, I appreciated water in its frozen state as an integral component of a pina colada. I don't use the gaseous form of water very often, but it's there if I ever need it. That's comforting.

Oh, I forgot the most important thing about water! We need it to survive. And it falls to earth at no cost to anyone. Brilliant!

FYI, when I meet you someday, I want to ask you about my mother-in-law slipping on outdoor steps after a rain shower, dislocating her shoulder and shattering her humerus bone into five pieces. I'm puzzled why there has to be a downside to the above-referenced masterstroke.
