You are sixty
percent water.
Rivers flow
through you.
Vast oceans
ebb and rise
within you.

Submerge yourself.
Feel the silence
as water
presses on you,
surrounding you,
cleansing you,
enchanting you.

Water is a
portal. Life is
what you find.
Embrace yourself.
Invite compassion.
Let water
wash away
your pain.
