I am fascinated by water. Who isn’t? Even little children in the kindergarten are fascinated by water! I love how it thunders down over waterfalls, or lies calmly reflecting the sky on the surface of a pool. I love how it creates such beauty when it freezes and still can’t quite believe that absolutely every single snowflake is unique.
I especially love when you can see enormous, apparently unchangeable rocks, smoothed and carved into all kinds of shapes by flowing water…..like in my photo here of Bracklinn Falls.
I love to see the great expanses of water when you stand on a beach, on an Atlantic Shore. I can stand watching the waves for ages.
But water is also a great metaphor for the Life Force. Both flow through us. We live constantly surrounded by both. They give us life, shape us and sustain us.
Even when you are not aware of water, there is water. Water is inside our physical body and in plants, too; there is water all over. In the same way the pure source is everywhere. Each being is itself pure source, and pure source is nothing but each being.
