Water
You need water to exist.
You are compositionally “carbon based bags of water.”
But more, you are water for others. Your presence either slacks their
thirst or drives them to drink— a bit of humor, there.
With your lover, as you seek to become beloveds, consider
how you are water each for the other. How do you, presently, slack the
other’s thirst? And thirst for what? What is it that your lover
drinks when they drink you? When they take the cup of your body and
drink?
Water seeks its own level. This is true on all three
levels: literal, symbolic and mystical.
What are those levels for you and your beloved?
Practice being water. This
is a humbling exercise. In it you are satisfying your lover at whatever
level he/she wants. To your lover you are as present as thirst. Meaning,
you give yourself totally to him/her. Practice being there— without
question; without hesitation. When they ask, you drop what you are doing—
instantly!— and make yourself totally present to him/her.
Crazy? Too risky?
Yes, you can be greedy as a lover.
Evil. Abusive. There is not a doubt that you can drink too much. Of
lemonade or wine. You can get a belly-ache or stinking drunk. There
is a risk.
But share your water. Grok—as
some say. Sit in silence with your beloved and explore for water.
