Water and blood flow throughout our bodies and give us life. Feelings of peace, sadness, anxiety, anguish, joy and tears, love, and agony are part of our human condition.
Water purifies our bodies. Blood is the lubricant that gives energy to our vital organs. Water and blood do not discriminate against the feelings that we have. Whether you are in Recovery or going through a difficult period in your life healing gives us a new heart and new spirit, allowing us to live a new life in service. Our new life in Recovery can be thorny at times. It includes anguish and tears as well as joy and peace.
Our own Recovery and difficult times in life allow us to identify with others’ struggles, so our fear, sadness, anxiety, and tears are fueled by water and blood flowing through us. By the healing power, our love and comfort, and peace flow through our hearts to the hearts of our distressed companions.
Recovery and difficult times guarantee uncomfortable feelings. The key is to recognize they do not last forever and you can find support from friends, family, support groups, and professional help. As we walk through the dark valleys of life into the light of a new day water and blood flow through our bodies regardless of our lot in life.
