For as long as the concepts of religion and spirituality have existed, water has been inexorably tied to the core of almost all major world religions and spiritual paths. Its cleansing power, its solvency, its clarity and its absolute necessity to life on this planet all make it the most precious resource our world lays claim to, and elevates water from a simple and common staple of existence to something more metaphorically sanctified, something precious and worthy of respect. And for many people, religious practice or spiritual belief does not end inside the walls of their place of worship or meditation: for many people of many different backgrounds and faiths, their beliefs are just as important at home as they are in their place of worship. So with an indoor wall fountain from this list, you can bring a piece of your religious practice home, whether you're Christian, Muslim, or Daoist.
For The Christian: The Ten Commandments Wall Fountain
Ever since John the Baptist took followers to the river in Jesus' youth, the cleansing power of water has been an important part of Christian ritual. The dichotomy of a powerful God with commandments set in stone and the gentle Savior who can wash away all sin is beautifully rendered in this indoor wall fountain. This fountain is a perfect and meaningful reminder of the beauty of grace, and the responsibility of mankind. As it says in the Book of Amos, "Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream."
For The Muslim: The Covington Wall Fountain
Ritual cleanliness plays an incredibly complex and important role in Islamic worship, making running water in particular a potent reminder of Ablution and spiritual devotion. Additionally, representational art is forbidden in Islam; this beautiful circular indoor wall fountain is decorative without impugning Islamic law or traditions.
For the Daoist: The Contemporary Round Wall Fountain
The Dao says, "A good man is like water. Water benefits all without competing." This rough-hewn, natural indoor wall fountain is a breathtaking reminder of the power of water; "dao" literally means "path," and the way that the water follows its natural course into the fountain's basin and back again mirrors what the Dao De Jing is about, at its very core. This fountain is excellent for meditative practice, or as a simple and gentle reminder to be more like water in your day-to-day life.
