Water’s Many Essences
George Lottermoser
An Elemental Year / Water — most certainly, provided the most surprising reveals. Water has always powerfully pulled me to it. Over 3 months of offering undistracted attention to Water, I found myself thinking back to times and places I overheard my mother referring to me as “my little fish.” And, of course, contemplated the 9 months developing within her water-filled womb.
Where Attention Goes / Energy Flows / And a Result Shows. As my Ritual Practices of undistracted attention evolved, Magic occurred—revealing new manifestations from an infinite number of possible outcomes. These many new forms overwhelm my senses and emotions—and provide me with a deep, new, ineffable knowing “about Water.” Eye used the language of monochrome image making to distill, and share, what eye now knows of the Water’s many Essences.
