#Day 19 – Water as a mirror of the soul

This morning began with an unexpected ease.
Though not everything went according to plan, I felt connected—centered in my body, and present in my actions. Even when a few small things didn’t go quite right, I found myself returning to a place of calm. I chose presence over panic. Awareness over autopilot.

Later, while reading Day 19 in 365 Days with Water, I was drawn to its title:
” Water as a mirror of the soul.”
So I followed the practice. I placed a bowl of still water in front of me, lit a candle, and breathed.
Eyes open, eyes closed. Breath in, breath out.

The water didn’t move. It was perfectly still.
So I gently blew air across the surface—just a soft breath.
Ripples appeared, dancing outward.

And suddenly I saw it:
This is how my mind works too.
It’s still, until I stir it.
Thoughts, like breath, are winds I send into its silence.
And I asked myself–

Is this stirring necessary? Or have I forgotten how sacred stillness can be?

Today, water reminded me:
Not all movement is needed.
Some of it is just habit.
But the soul reveals herself in stillness.

Reflection inspired by Day 19 of 365 Days with Water.
In stillness, water reveals the truth. In movement, it shows the flow of life.

See you tomorrow,
With a blue heart 💙
