Life first stirred in ocean's watery depths.
You are of the water -
remember your depths, your beginnings.

Courageous river, eternally trusting the slow flow of ground,
the banks that hold,
knows not its destination.
Be the river and let yourself fall.

Once uplifted, rain from pond or lake
drops in full surrender
to its new life.
Feel the water in you helping you to assume new shapes.

And tears, water of grief or joy,
expressions of deeply living
asking you to soften and let life in.
