Home / Thirteen Waters / Passage Five
Conversations with the Wasband
“Not all water is alive. Some of it is holding its breath.”
A still desert pool, a former husband, and the difference between managed water and living water.
Water teaches
Anything kept too still, too controlled, too sterilized eventually loses its charge. Real life ~ like real water ~ must flow. And the moment you choose the living water over the managed one ~ everything changes.
Reflection
- Where in your life are you accepting the appearance of peace instead of the real thing?
- What have you sterilized in yourself just to be accepted ~ and what would it feel like to let it flow again?
This teaching closes Passage Five of Surrender to Self, a lyric memoir in thirteen passages by Amal Lana.
