In the last few years, I have gathered a few books on water, 'water as elixir', 'the story of water', 'how to read water' and so on, all in a desire to attempt to learn more.

Originally, to me water has this mystical connection, it is this felt unseen we can’t describe, and yet we all feel, like a gut feeling, the instinct.

The water is transparent and yet changes forms all the time, just as we do. Oceans are so deep, there is still so much we can’t see, and we don’t know what lies in this deep blue.

It is reminding us of the immensity and mystery of life around us. 

​

The sounds heard under the water are also yet another perceptions. I feel it’s an other part of ourselves.

​

Some people talk of the waters as a reminder of the source of the womb, some others of our emotional state, just like those seas we dream in our sleep (strangely beyond cultural identities). 

On my end, it feels a little more than this. 

In some Tibetan Buddhist texts, bliss is often defined as pure presence, we are often called to be in the so-called “now’, which is an ocean in itself.

In our human desire to define what we live, to define ourselves, the moment of being in the water, under the sea, or by a river, I have that sense of dropping in a vast reality of ‘now’, so vast, that defining that aspect from a to z is just impossible, feeling seems the most accurate way of defining it.

By the ocean and in the ocean, my subjective experience is to connect to what feels inside me as honest, authentic, giving, brave, tender, fierce, unpredictable, full of contradictions, just like life truly feels.

A few very nutshell notes on water - Reminders : 

Water is the biggest surface of the earth and water is one of the main components of our physical body. 

Water responds to its environment, it transforms and changes constitution depending on what it receives, which then changes what it gives back - just as we do.

​

Water is a communicator in the environment, it carries minerals from one entity and drops it to an other surface that would need those substances to grow. 

​

I would love to place the torch on the importance and wonder of  Water, to keep caring for it.
