I let the water run warm just like everybody. But as I look at that clear fluid running down the drain, I always remind myself to be thankful knowing some parts of the world do not have fresh water. Some might be thirsty and here I am using the same element to take a shower or a bath...indulging in the fresh water this country has provided me. Thank you my beloved USA.
So as I slowly let the water touch my skin, I fervently say this prayer. For me, taking a bath or a shower is not something I do lightly. It is my ritual to help me see and understand why do I do things. For what purpose is my existence.
They said that water is a universal medium and it is everywhere. Did you know that comets such as Halley's comet are not solid substance but water? Water running across the universe. Isn't it amazing how this world of ours form. The same water we use in baptizing humans for religious reason. Baptism. A powerful ritual that can create a strong belief. A belief which has the power in the body that is held in the mind and spirit.
Water... just like spirit... always free flowing.
The next time you want to create a wonderful bath, try to contemplate on this art until it becomes your second nature. Close your eyes and recite this ferverntly...it will help you see water differently, more positive and not just plain water but water of gratitude and peace. Your spirit will thank you for it. www.intrumentsofinspiration.net
