Embracing the Serenity of Water: Reflections on Life and Spirituality

This reflection draws inspiration from various spiritual texts, exploring the profound connection between water and life's journey. As expressed in Psalm 23, God guides us like calm waters, providing peace and sustenance. The Dao De Jing teaches us the virtues of being honest and flexible, much like water itself. Wisdom is likened to an untarnished mirror of divine light, while profound literary echoes, from Hafiz to Mary Oliver, remind us of the value of living fully and cherishing our existence.
