drinking the water
becoming one with it
sharing its essence
and its life force
drinking the water
sharing with it
your life, your story
and the journey it is on
becoming a portion
a stop on its sojourn
the water abiding
while it walks with us

“Drinking the water”
in response to post by
Richard Tackett
on Facebook:
a quote by Taisen
Deshimaru
“If
you have a glass full of liquid you can discourse forever on its qualities,
discuss whether it is cold, warm, whether it is really and truly composed of
H-2-O, or even mineral water, or saki. Meditation
is Drinking it!””
