"Sometimes the things that are felt the most
are expressed between two souls over the distance
and over time ... where no words abide."
C. JoyBell C.
Water takes on many forms and brings comfort to all peoples. Our bodies require an intake of water, and showering our bodies can wash away stress from the day. Water boils food or creates steam for many cooking, cleansing, or warming purposes. Water also has a magical element of connection whether we are submerged in an ocean, teasing a tide with our toes or simply listening to the sound of waves.
Memories run parallel to the functions of water. They can bring comfort, required for daily functioning, and an escape from reality. Both can startle by serendipitously splashing against us. Both sudden memories and water can turn us towards laughter or tears of sadness.
We can be triggered instantaneously without a single word. The touch of a rain drop upon our face can remind us of a gentle kiss whereas a rising flood can threaten life. Memories or water can knock us flat without uttering a word.
