Breathing Water

now inhale, love

All is well
and I’m well,
so well
can’t you see

the depth it goes,
a stone throws
down and down
surrender

to flow
like water
fills the well
with wisdom.

What shape
will we take
and bake hot
with the glory

of our Father Sun,
hold steady
as the rock,
protect me

and do not relent
as my loud waves
crash
and beat

your heart
against mine,
we slow time
in our conjoined breath.

In this poem, I find myself reflecting on the way surrendering to the flow of life can bring about wisdom and clarity. It speaks to the deep connection between the elements—earth, water, and the sun—and how they shape us. Like the waves that crash yet return to the sea, we are called to embrace life's rhythms, holding steady in the face of uncertainty. There is power in surrender, not as weakness, but as a path to understanding our own depth and resilience. Through the ebb and flow, we become more attuned to the present moment, finding strength in our interconnectedness and the beauty of shared breath.
