These vibrations seem to come in waves: at times strong and intense, like a darkness unfolding signalling some sort danger, and at other times rapid and clear bouncing light from the water promoting a sense of invitation and safety. It is almost as if these vibrations are the indication of how the "game" will be played, like, these are the clues that tell you whether you need a life jacket or if you are safe enough to be vulnerable in your own skin.
Water seems to regularly depict emotion in a variety of symbolic settings and I get it. Fluid, strong, invisible and plain to see - we accept that it surrounds us but we seem to often forget the importance that it has in our lives until we have no access to it.
I am curious about the impact that water has on it's direct neighbour: the rocks become moulded by the forces of the waves, the soil becomes carved by the streams, roofs leak with the consistent pounding of the rain and tears create a path down the crying persons cheek. I wonder if the path of least resistance is a coping mechanism all of life has developed to secure it's place in the world.
Water has the ability to form it's surroundings into the structure it needs. Emotions do the same. We need to release our feelings, explore our emotions and decipher the meaning behind our sensations - otherwise we run the risk of damaging our environment.
Everything has a reason and it is our job to extract the lesson from each situation and build a bit of protection to save us from the intensity of it's impact. Sometimes it may be as easy as building a bridge, other times we may have to keep on moving. In either circumstance we are going to get wet.
