Blood & Water

You’ve heard it said, “Blood is thicker than water.”

But I say blood coagulates. It can seal up a wound or complicate a life. Water thickens to ice but melts again. Blood can only go in one direction.

Wounds sealed up, clots in the legs and heart and brain. Or hemophilia on the other extreme. Gushing and gushing and gushing free.

Blood is thicker than water.

Is that a good thing?
