Big Green Jug

If your water is green, don't drink it.  That's my rule of thumb.  You certainly can write your own guidelines on what you are willing to ingest.

Fun water bottles for around the house

My water bottles are filled from a gallon of "sunshine wine" (post 10-28-11), filtered water that has had a chance to bask in the sun until it's absorbed as much sun sparkle as it can hold.  The routine of Things I get to do today includes refilling these recycled, interesting, glass bottles.  To encourage myself to "keep up the fluids," I have several around the house in locations where I settle in for a time or pass by frequently (by the computer, in the kitchen, on the bathroom counter).

Hinting green, the salt slurry has done its work

But the big jug had gone green. Nothing serious, it had a delicate film of green algae coating the inside, and the next step would be the water turning green.  Last time this happened I enlisted the help of my friend, salt. Salt is fabulous for many tasks that require an abrasive.  To clean a big bottle, dump in about 1/4 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of water.  Swirl this about in the jug until the gritty salt has scoured off everything on the inside. Rinse.  I'm happy to drink the sunshine wine/water from this clear container now.

Sparkly fresh and ready to soak up the rays

Sunshine Wine

It's really just water.  But I "make" it in a jug.  It sits outside next to the house for enough days to get really good.  Here's the oxymoron:  it seems like nothing and yet it's absolutely everything.

I'm asking you to use a very generous dose of your imagination for the next couple of minutes.  Go to your faucet and fill a glass with water, filtered water, if you have it.  Set it on the counter.  Then pretend you can feel the good and vibrant healthy energy coming from that water.  Using both hands, palms toward the water and about three feet away from it, move your hands slowly toward your glass of water.  Stop when you feel a very slight pulse or tingle in your palms.  That's the edge of the energy "glow" of your water.  Likely, if you live in my town, your hands will be about a foot or less away from the glass.

Without sun energy, life on earth wouldn't last long.  We benefit from the sun energy when we are outside, and we benefit from the sun energy that is stored in the plants and foods we eat.  We could also drink in this sun energy.  That's what I do.

 Water collecting Sun Energy

I fill a glass gallon jug with filtered water, and set it on the South side of my house where it can get the maximum solar benefit.  It absorbs solar energy until I'm ready for it.  There's a gallon of sun water in the house that I'm drinking from.  When it is empty, I refill it and swap it for the one in the sun.  And that's the water I drink.

My Sunshine Wine

Using your same imagination and same process for measuring the good and vibrant healthy energy coming from the water, if you were to assess the "glow" of the sun water, you might find it radiated anywhere from two and half to three feet from the glass.  That is a remarkable difference.  And when you drink the water, that energy is yours.


If you are looking for a very cheap "high" and no hangover, start drinking your own home-made sunshine wine. It's one of the Things I get to do today (and everyday).
