to become something significant

something grand and shown

My aunt Jacy - she is the flow to me and both my sister’s lives.  She is the gracious provider to us who we respect immensely. Without her - our adherent, we would never known how lucky we are to feel that support and love.

The flow of water is needed by water itself, for its quality and its impact for nature, so flow gives water this push to become something significant, something grand and shown.
