The Image of Water and more Water

After being in over your head you fall into a continual flow of water.
You have no choice now but to take risks and confront danger.
When you feel afraid keep an objective point of view.
Penetrate the meaning of the situation and take action for correction.
Reach your goal step by step with practice and repetition.
Don’t avoid any task. Stay true to yourself.

This is a time for learning while teaching others.
You will not drown when you become like water and learn to flow around obstacles.
The ancient Chinese thought of water as the symbol
for the heart or the soul locked in the body.
