THE WAY OF THE WATER

"THE WAY OF THE WATER"

This painting primarily represents and inspires reflection on the importance of being "salt in the world"; with the aim of providing a greater understanding of what it means to add flavor to this earth.
The horse represents both people in need and those who have everything, but in reality they too are in need (characteristics highlighted by the horse's skeleton and bones).
A quote from John M. Keynes says: "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink." This quote is true and I believe anyone could say the same. Furthermore, horses in nature lose large amounts of essential minerals in their sweat, and if these are not replaced, an electrolyte imbalance can develop (which is why "salt" is given to entice the horse to drink water).
Reading the Bible, Jesus himself said: "Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another." (Mark 9:50-51)

Reading this, I asked myself: "Why is it good? What are the benefits of salt? And what does He mean by the command "have salt in yourselves"?"

In my research, I've seen that salt is fundamental to human life for numerous vital physiological mechanisms, such as the transmission of nerve impulses and blood pressure regulation. It's not just in food, but also in religion, and in economic and social relationships between cultures and countries. Called "the divine substance" by the Greeks, known to the Romans as "white gold," and in the Old Testament, it signifies "wisdom, holiness, incorruptibility, and covenant."

After all the importance of salt, I asked myself: "What could the world be like without salt? How could the world be like without truth and justice (which is equivalent to salt)?"

For this reason, "Jesus stood on the last day, the great day of the feast, and cried out, 'If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'" (John 7:37-38)

It is again: (Gospel of John 4:14) whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life."

In conclusion: "We often take things for granted. If there were no salt in the world, there would be no life, only destruction, chaos, and death. Even the Church, guardian of truth, is worthless if it does not bring justice, the image of God on earth. Likewise, anyone who corrupts himself with the world cannot give it flavor, and therefore cannot give the world what it truly needs: the solution."
