Mover of Mountains

Water is the source of all life;
Life’s matrix and fecundity.
It overflows into everything,
Moving everywhere.

It does not compete to reach high places,
But embraces lower ones.
It stays in places others disdain
And is therefore closer to God.

When water penetrates a rock,
It happens without effort.
The rock does not resist –
The creature gives in to the Creator.
