TRANQUILITY FOUNTAINS - Tapa blanda

Fountains renew and sustain us with their gently flowing water and natural beauty. Turn any place in your home or garden into a peaceful haven by making a fountain to sit by and listen to as you take a brief respite from your life. Feel the serenity take over, and imagine yourself relaxing near a mountain stream or getting in balance with nature along the shore of a river. Relax to the sounds of a softly babbling, easy-to-make fountain. Create one for your office desk, where it will give you a sense of serenity that encourages concentration and clear thinking. Build another for a bedside table so that when you close your eyes, the cares of the day float away as tranquillity washes over you. Take pleasures in looking at your fountains in the garden by using materials that remind you of a favourite place, such as shells collected at the beach, or something that soothes you, like a candle. Your fountains will give you a small respite from your busy life.
