“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” ~ Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
I remember receiving that message when I sat in the Marie Madaleine grotto in La Sainte Baume in France, listening to the water dripping and flowing in the rocks, unseen but heard.

“Drop by drop, water wears away even the most formidable stone.”
And Love’s like water; when it meets an obstacle (and it seems to do that on a regular basis, yes?), it finds another way to flow.
Or Love and Water Juju helps to transmute the toxins, drop by drop, like a Flower Essence.
It’s a vibrational remedy, and in an energetic field, it’s all about vibrational qualities.
One clue in an Empath-Sensitive’s astro-chart is the presence of Water (other elements in the chart give other clues on the story the chart reflects).

Here’s more Sophia’s Children Water Wisdom to quicken your capacity to Flow … or Swim, or Surf, or Dive:
Jamie has long been an inspiration partner and lantern-holder for her fellow transformation leaders, change catalysts, and creative nonconformists who are living, inspiring, and (intentionally or not) leading the way in these chaotic times.
When she's not tending and stirring the Sophia's Children cauldron, she's following research trails, and serving as the Director of a Repro-Justice-oriented women's health center in her community, co-creating a safe, in-person compassionate care environment in a world that increasingly seems to lack that.
Jamie is a long-time servant of the Muse, a writer and author, an intrepid walker and feline-tender, and is passionate about the healing power and relevance of reclaiming ancestral-wisdom and healing (or at least understanding) ancestral (and other types of) trauma. She has great appreciation for dark chocolate and cooking other nourishing, delicious meals -- often plant-based -- to nourish her partner and her peeps, and otherwise doing the same day to day things we all do.
