Watery Wisdom
Water.
It’s formless.
When it fills a cup, it becomes the cup.
When it fills a bath, it becomes the bath.
When it fills a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
It’s powerful.
Think of sea waves crashing on the beach.
Think of sea storms.
Think of floods.
It’s cleansing.
We use it to clean our food.
We use it to clean our body.
We use it to clean our dishes.
It’s transparent.
Perfectly clear.
Invisible to our eyes.
Hiding in plain sight.
It’s reflective.
Always reflecting without judgment.
Always showing the truth.
Always a perfect mirror.
It’s 31% of our bones.
It's 64% of our skin.
It’s 71% of our planet.
It’s 73% of our brain.
It’s 79% of our muscles
It's 83% of our lungs.
All animals need water to survive.
All plants need water to survive.
No exception.
It contains timeless wisdom.
If water is moving, it is healthy.
If water is still, it stagnates.
Too much of it can be deadly.
Too little of it can be deadly.
It has to be a balance.
To me, water seems close to God.
Inside each of us there is water.
Inside each of us, is also a piece of God.
I am keen to keep receiving wisdom from water.
It is truly a powerful phenomena.
Thank you.
