Water: from the crashing waves of the ocean to a single drop causing ripples in a still pool.

THE ELEMENT OF WATER

And that which contains it

A roaring river in crystalline turquoise and white cuts a swath through a lush forest.

One droplet.
A lily-pad pond.
The glassy lake — or 10,000.
The jagged-smooth crystallization of a frozen waterfall.
The sea.

The lake basin.
A canal's channel.
Winding, wending riverbanks.
My cup.

The track of one tear.
Profusely pouring droplets of sweat.
The source and conduits of our nervous system.
The Mind.

A naked person stands waist-deep in a pool at the bottom of a waterfall, faced toward the flow, palms pressed together in prayer-hands above the head.

Domain of the Mind

Immeasurable depth; the basin that contains it.
Vast power; the banks that direct it.
Harnessing & channeling movement, energy, emotion, thought.
Directed navigation: knowing when to go with the flow, when to sit still, and when to battle upstream.
Consciously deciding when and how to express thoughts and emotions.
Purify, refresh, rejuvenate, cleanse, calm.
Maintaining supple, fluid focus

Boats navigate the Nile River, which is flanked by the rich green and gold abundance that is nourished by the nutrient-rich water.

Realm of Meditation, Navigation & Flow

Water is Life.

But without containment, it floods the land, drowns vegetation, destroys homes and habitats, and washes away all in its path. If left to sprawl and stagnate without refreshment or movement, everything it touches rots.

Although seasonal river floods can be nurturing to an otherwise barren land — just ask the Nile — it is containment by the riverbanks that allows for navigation and easier travel.

The same is true with the mind.

Upon a bed of clouds, a heavy tome opens to reveal a fantastical wooded landscape where the river rushes straight off the pages into a waterfall

Realm of Story

Books, telling tall tales, movies, TV, plays, playlists, music lyrics, poetry, ghost stories, journals, journalism, jokes, documentaries, dance-tales...
The look in someone's eyes, the tone of their voice, the heart on their sleeve — for the one who can read it.
My story, your story, their story, our story
Who we were, who we are, who we think we are, who we wish we were, who we might become...
