Water – Patricia Ahern

What does water mean to me?

Well it is life itself, real life energy in stillness and in motion,
continually giving in so many ways.

I have always felt drawn to water, to be near it, to hear it has always calmed me
As a child, visiting the beach, the ocean could still me in an instant,

I felt a calm hearing the hush and pull sound of the tide, like the ocean was breathing.
A stream, a river, a simple fountain each carrying the same gentle spell for me.

Recently, in a kinesiology session, my body asked for a water feature at home
so I brought this water fountain.
Now its soft soothing trickle fills my space,
layering calm upon calm, a daily invitation to soften, to move, to trust

It reminds me to stay in flow with my life.
The elephants a symbol of strength, perspective, and the wisdom of remembering what matters.

This small water feature brings me joy,

a living rhythm,
a steady whisper of ease and flow.

What does water mean to you?
