Of Water and Spirit

There's nothing like the watery death and rebirth of a flood. The out-of-control nature of uncontained water, the false belief we can navigate the currents, the intrusion, the relentlessness. The lovers who die in each others' arms. And, the way we all pull together to be there for each other no matter who we are or where we live--no matter what our conditions. Happiness grows in the midst of this, the rebirth of "pulling it all together again" and possibilities inherent in the pain of starting over. The "Empress of Happy" says this: we can get over and beyond and build anew.
