Potentiometric Surface:
The level to which groundwater would rise if not trapped an aquifer,
in which it is under pressure
because of an impermeable layer above it
that keeps it from seeking its level.
_________________________________
Just like water, we all have a potentiometric surface,
a level of being that we wish we were at,
that we would be at,
if not for the pressures of everyday life
and responsibilities
which keep us from reaching it.
