What the Water Made Me
“You cannot hold water. You can only become it.”
After Harbin, wandering the way water wanders, and finding what she was made to build.
We are eternal souls wearing temporary bodies ~ and water is the element that helps us remember what we truly are. And sometimes the most healing thing we can do is build a place where others can remember it too.
- Where in your life have you been so focused on surviving that you forgot you were also a soul?
- And who in your life has been quietly holding something for you ~ waiting for you to come back and build it?

There is land here. There is room. There is a life here worth building.
Enough to keep moving. Enough to keep building.
Water finds its level.
You cannot hold water. You can only become it.
When we float ~ when we finally release ~ something in us remembers too.
Water holds us at every edge. And we are never alone in the crossing.
We are eternal souls wearing temporary bodies ~ and water is the element that helps us remember what we truly are.
