Pearls of Wisdom

The Stillness of a Pond

  As you stare out over the pond- the water is as still as a mirror, reflecting back to whatever is on or in your mind, this is the mirror to your soul, to your inner being, the child within, or for some the cowering individual who has succumbed to too much in its life. In Greek mythology, Narcissus feel in love with himself when he looked at his reflection, and he became fixated with himself forever.

   Water for the ancient Greeks was a most magical place, marked by the habitation of water nymphs, or magical, spiritual beings. Water for many ancient cultures was a sacred substance, however today not many of us take care of our waters. Much of our water is becoming polluted in our current day. Water is—essential to our survival and without it we would not survive.

1.     How many times throughout the day does your mind feel like a still, calm pool?
