# Day 6 – Stillness in Motion

Even when water moves, it maintains a sense of stillness. Be like water, calm yet purposeful.

Yesterday began with an unexpected silence. I woke up feeling like I was floating in a quiet space, disconnected from everything — people, emotions, even myself. It wasn’t sadness, exactly, but a kind of unfamiliar solitude. A deep longing for someone I couldn’t name.

Then, I opened 365 Days with Water to Day 6: “Stillness in Motion.”

That phrase spoke directly to me. And the timing was perfect. The practice was simple: observe water and breathe. So I did. Even in the emotional turbulence I was experiencing, I allowed myself to sit with the movement of water, gentle, fluid, persistent. And within its rhythm, I began to feel a kind of cleansing: Like the water was silently whispering “You don’t need to fix everything. Just flow. Just be.” Water reminded me that calm isn’t the absence of movement, but the grace we bring to each moment, even the difficult ones. Water reminded me that calm isn’t the absence of movement, but the grace we bring to each moment, even the difficult ones.

This is what Day 6 whispered to me, a stillness I didn’t know I needed.

💧 Today’s Practice:

Take five minutes today to sit silently near any source of water, or even close your eyes and imagine one. Let your breath mirror the movement of the water. Notice where your body holds tension, and allow each breath to gently soften it, like water smoothing a stone.

Today’s Question:

What part of you needs permission to simply flow today, without control, without resistance?

This reflection is inspired by Day 6 of the book 365 Days with Water. One drop, one truth at a time.

See you tomorrow,
With a blue heart 💙
