#Day 32 – The Essence of Water

There is nothing softer, more gentle, or more yielding than water.
And yet, in its quiet grace, water holds the power to dissolve even what is hardest.
Not by force—but through its presence, its patience, its flow.

Today, I read that water molecules are over 4.5 billion years old—
having cycled through countless forms of life and nature.
This line made me pause and breathe.

Suddenly, a phrase whispered itself into my mind: The love story between the sun and the sea.
I didn’t know why, but it gave me hope.
The warmth of the sun…
The sound of the water…
The waves you feel before they reach the shore—
just like the waves of life.
You sense them coming long before they arrive.

I took a deep breath and prepared for today’s practice.
Before drinking my glass of water, I closed my eyes and spoke to it:

“You are a teacher, dressed as water.

You are the one who brings truth.

Even in your silence, you whisper the secrets of the cosmos.

I am a drop within your vastness. Please accept me and nourish my soul.”

That was the essence of my journey on day 32 of 365 Days with Water.

See you tomorrow,
with a blue heart
