Water -vision, sound, poetry

In this week's meditation on August 8th, I had a vision of water. Let us bring light through water in this thread - through paintings, sound, poetry - our own, or that of other aspects of One.

Re: Water -vision, sound, poetry

In this world there is nothing softer
or thinner than water
But to compel the hard and unyielding,
It has no equal.
That the weak overcomes the strong,
That the hard gives way to the gentle -
This everyone knows,
Yet no one acts accordingly.

      –Lao Tzu

water

the wisdom of water consoles my very soul to nature…

to flow, steam, freeze
to remember, cleanse, carry

to pull and dance
fall and float

to ebb and go where none may follow

water I turn to
now and always

I have been reading Dr Masaru Emoto's books and photography on the messages and healing powers of water. It has been a huge turn around for me to incorporate the wisdom of water into my thinking.

Sea-Fever - John Masefield

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking
And a gray mist on the sea's face and a gray dawn breaking

I must go down to the sea's again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying
And the flung spray and the blown spume and the sea-gulls crying

I must go down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over

Oh Taia, memories of childhood with this poem. Makes me realize that memories are also like water aren't they - flowing but persisting.

Re: Water -vision, sound, poetry

Thank you Azyh. Dr Emoto has become synonymous for me with water - ever since he showed us those crystals that respond instantaneously to those around them.

Love and appreciation

In my Inbox today:

During this time of Sat Yuga, the Golden Age, one of the most important challenges is to understand emotions, how they work, and what to do with them when they are toxic and wounded.

 Water and emotions are the same element, and follow the same rules for purity and life essence.  It bears repeating time and again that we are 80% water beings living on an 80% water world.  

 Water must flow to stay pure, otherwise it becomes stagnant and poisonous.  Feelings must flow to stay pure, otherwise they also become stagnant and poisonous, all bottled up inside.  However, just as water, to be safe, must flow safely in rivers and streams, etc, instead of dangerous destructive floods and hurricanes, so must our wounded feelings flow safely and non-destructively.  In the two handouts below, Michael discusses how to tell when a friend, spouse, or partner is triggered and what to do and NOT do at this time. 

Flowing emotions are magnetic and attract new realities into form.

 We must master the emotional water realm within ourselves, and learn how to help our loved ones to do so as well, to attract our Divine Essence of Perfection into form for the happiness of all sentient life.

Re: Water -vision, sound, poetry

… There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being
  torn apart, and they will suffer greatly. Know the river has
  its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore,
  push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open,
  and our heads above the water. See who is in there with you
  and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take
nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. 


Gather yourselves! …”
