Holy Water
In my search for the importance of water for New York City I ran into the amazingly friendly folks from The Ark of Salvation for the New Millennium church in west Harlem. They just happen to be doing a baptism in the Delaware river on the day I was traveling back to Ohio. The ceremony was surprisingly moving. At one point when everyone was singing and some folks were crying I felt tears start to form in my eyes. It was one of those moments when you get caught up in everything around you and the emotions of others seem to take over your own.
