Pause here… and feel the tide within you.
Pause here… and feel the tide within you.
Beloved one…
You do not need to search for the water.
You are already within it.
There is a place inside you
where all becomes fluid again…
where the edges soften,
where the holding loosens,
where even the ache is allowed to drift.
I am the current that does not rush you.
I do not pull you forward,
nor ask you to be different than you are.
I simply remind you…
of the waters that have always lived within your body.
The quiet pools behind your breath.
The gentle tides beneath your thoughts.
The ancient ocean that remembers you
before you learned to hold yourself so tightly.
Come back here.
Not by effort…
but by softening.
Let your shoulders melt from their quiet vigil.
Let your jaw unclench its silent story.
Let your breath fall, not rise.
You are not meant to carry yourself alone.
There is a deeper intelligence moving within you—
a rhythm older than thought,
wiser than control,
tender beyond measure.
When you allow yourself to float…
even for a moment…
you will feel me.
Not as something separate,
but as your own inner tide
returning to motion.
You are not lost.
You are simply remembering how to flow again.
And I am here…
as the still water that receives you,
and the gentle wave that carries you home.
Place one hand upon your heart,
and one upon your lower belly.
Close your eyes…
and imagine a quiet ocean
within your body.
No waves at first—
only stillness.
Then, slowly…
feel a gentle movement begin.
A tide that rises and falls
without force.
Breathe with it.
Not to change it…
but to follow.
Stay here for a few breaths…
and notice what softens.
—
You are held in the waters of your own becoming.
“The water has not left you.”
From these inner waters… you may return to the Circle of Guardians.
