The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – water.
Nature embodies water, fire, air & earth. Specifically, water. Water is synonymous with grace, humility, fluidity, stillness & serenity. Water falls from the sky, melts from the ice glaciers, streams down the hills into rivers & seas. Similarly, we’re born with defining characteristics & unique gifts. We meander buoyantly through life encountering all sorts of twists & turns.
When a river brilliantly breaks at a boulder or barrier, it only gains the empathy, endurance, enthusiasm & energy to keep flowing. Likewise, we encounter our own barriers, may fall hard but keep moving with a resolute will to succeed, to find meaning. Water inspires us to just be, to flow naturally with strength, passion & belief. “I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.”
Water generously fills all empty & dark spaces. It’s inclusive, playful & rejuvenating. Similarily, we face our dark moments calmly, creatively, courageously & compassionately. Water gives life, joy, adventure & abundance without any expectation. Eventually, a river happily merges with the sea without any fear or resistance. Each time we move beyond our individual identities or limitations to become a part of something truly beautiful or meaningful, we follow the lead of water. Water is the essence of life, without it we simply wouldn’t exist. Incredibly inspiring. Gratitude.
