Day 12 – Water as a Mirror

Today’s journal entry asked me something I wasn’t quite ready for.

“What emotions or energies am I projecting?”

The truth?

Today, I didn’t feel calm, loving, or grounded. I felt heavy. Tired. Sad for the world. Overwhelmed by the noise, the needs, the imbalance of everything. There are days when I feel more connected to the pain of the world than to myself. Days when the needs of the Earth, of others, of everything — feel more urgent than my own. And when I can’t meet those needs, I feel powerless.Empty.

A part of me whispered:

You’re not here to perform. You’re here to feel.

It reminded me of a line I love:

about how sometimes we speak and act only to please others, forgetting to ask ourselves what we really need.

So I paused.
I didn’t sit by water today. But I imagined it.
Still, quiet, like a mirror.

And I asked:
What would this water show me, if I dared to look?

Maybe it would reflect my tiredness. My grief.
But maybe it would also reflect honesty.
A willingness to be real, even when it’s hard.
And maybe that… is enough.

Today’s Invitation:
If your inner waters feel stirred or murky, don’t force calm.
Just sit with yourself.
Let the water mirror you gently, just as you are.
You don’t have to be light to be loved.

💧 Your reflection is worthy—especially when it’s real.

In response to yesterday’s reflection from Day 11
“Are there areas in my life where I can soften, shift, and still stay true—just like water?”
And today, I found this whisper inside me:
I’m learning to soften by simply letting myself be honest—even when I’m not okay. That, too, is staying true.

See you tomorrow,
With a blue heart
