Ok, it's time to get going!
I have spent the past three days at the beach, just sitting, looking at the waves, the birds, the sand and the sky. I vowed I would take no books, no cameras, no picnic lunch, no binoculars, no distractions at all, but would simply sit there, hour upon hour, and observe the dramatic interface between water and sky, water and earth, water and animals, and water and humans just to see if I could learn more about life. Here is the most profound insight I came away with - water doesn't give up and it doesn't give in.
Water fills in every gap, every depression, and every void caused by every movement. It keeps pressure on the shore, even when the wind is down and the tides are still. It keeps pressure in the air even as wind pushes its vapor around to many places. It keeps pressure inside our bodies, nourishing all our functioning parts. In fact, water maintains its pressure in all forms of life, even if it is polluted, sick, and seemingly lifeless itself.
If water were a human being, I would say this person is INTENSE! "She" has a huge task. "She's got powerful drive and determination." "She's motivated!" "He" knows exactly what he's here for." "He's" a superstar. Okay, characterizing water this way may seem silly, but it helps me to understand all that water is and all it does. Water . . . such a mystery to us all in so many ways . . . is an amazing role model for us right now, especially during our challenging times.
I don't need to remind you that these are times of personal transformation, financial transition, global ecological re-balancing, and escalating human friction. In fact, if we looked at all these disturbances in the world, we would see a vast conglomeration of floating debris on the surface of our lives. Like water, however, there is still great depth within each of us that can carry on and live the life we were meant to live. In spite of all the surface disturbance, water never forgets its intensity, its role in life; and water never backs down or gives up.
Water never stops supplying life, even if its quantity is low or its quality is compromised. It never stops putting pressure on the earth even if trash and toxins litter the surface. Water keeps pushing hard in its mission to fill all gaps and supply all life. It keeps pushing hard even when all conditions otherwise seem hopeless. Water just doesn't give up. And when water is dammed, it eventually finds the crack and pushes hard to break down the barriers. Can we take a lesson from water? Of course we can! We are water!
I have heard many people say they feel uncertain and immobilized right now because of our economy, so they hold back on their plans to step out into the world. They hold back on taking a workshop they've longed to take. Or they hold back on buying a good book, or throwing a party, starting a new project in the home, starting their new diet plan, moving to a home that makes their heart tingle, making a job change, or taking a vacation. People are holding back on planting flowers. They are holding back on sharing with others. Are you holding back on anything right now out of fear? If water withheld its energy while junk bobbed on its surface, we would all perish. In a sense, when we withhold our participation in the process of creating joy, quality of life suffers from the lack of our real currency - our energy flow.
Believe it or not, human energy - your energy - powers the world. Just like water, the pressure of your intensity in the world nourishes the hearts of a billion souls you may never see. When we hold back, we create a drought downstream. When water is stopped, death is the final result. Death of the human spirit is just as tragic as death of other living organisms. Can we afford to give up? Water never gives up.
In the spirit of Big Blue - our water-filled planet and our water-filled lives - I propose the following:
Break down the dam and let the water flow. Let your spirit flow into all the areas of life you dream of penetrating (but have held back because of the economy, or because of other influences that give you pause.) Take a risk. Water does that every day. Move into empty places and fill the gap with your aliveness, your creativity, your joy or your support. Fill the world with your love, too. Love, like water, must never be dammed.
What does it feel like to spread out into your life without limitations? I think it feels just like the foaming surf rolling onto the shore, reaching the dry sand, making it wet and delivering beautiful seashell treasures for awestruck children (or adults) to find later. I think it feels like desperately pulling off layers of bulky, hot clothing to finally dive naked into a perfect secluded pool of water. I think, when you break the surface of limitations, it is like a whale breaching the surface of the ocean, slapping its fluke, sending a spout high in the air, and waving its fin as it dives deep again. I think it feels like spectacular breakers crashing against the sea wall. Eventually the wall will break down. Breaking down a dam that contains your life is both delicious and scary. And this is what water encounters all day, every day, in all ways. Let's take a tip from our precious element, water. Don't wait any longer to push your hardest. Now is the time when things look bad. This is the moment you give birth to your dreams. Get intense. Get motivated. Get physical. Be a superstar. Get powerful. Get going! You will feel mighty, like a million ocean waves crashing into the rocks. Don't give up. Water doesn't.
I wish you the power and intensity of water as you look beyond the surface debris and push through into a new realm of joy. And here's another tip from flowing water: flow around
the obstacles while still continuing on your mission. It is as simple as
that. No drama, just determination.

OUR HEARTFELT THANKS
This month marks our fifth anniversary since we first produced water blessing labels. With over one million blessing labels in circulation, we are proud we could offer a simple tool for transformation that brought you such hope and comfort during challenging times. Our letters continue to describe all kinds of painful situations in the lives of people who tried "just one more thing" to change their situation and found that blessing their water was the least effort they could make at the time, but produced the biggest results. We don't understand all of the mysteries, but we know, our blessings go out with each package we sell in addition to the power of the words themselves. Our hope is that Water Blessings continue to be a gentle, loving solution to personal growth, global healing and evolution of consciouness. Your empowerment is our gift. .... So thank you from the depths of our hearts for your continuing support.
