The bottom of the well is full of water. It rises as water flows in from the surrounding land until there is plenty. Then it is gradually depleted until it is filled once more. In this way the gentle ebb and flow of nature is demonstrated. As it breathes in and out, we go from plenty to less but always there is enough to go around when things are in harmony, in balance. The skies fill with water in clouds and rain upon the earth when more is needed, filling up the coffers of reserves in the land. This is the way things work when we are happy and contented with our lot and take only what we truly need and leave the excess.
Now, as we observe a change and heat has scorched some lands and floods immerse and cleanse others, there is imbalance and drought and death as a result. For thousands of years we have slowly turned a heavenly planet into a desert where plenty that was once known throughout is now gone. We will again know our home on Mother Earth as heaven restored as we learn to respect and love first ourselves and then all that is around us, of which we are just part, sharing in everything in a harmonious dance of existence. I pray this time will come before too long.
