What might happen if you drink deeply of your emotions, feeling them all?

Water is the supported element, influencing Mountain. I am Mountain. You are Mountain. We are each Mountain. We are each substantial, majestic, and made of the very Earth herself, claiming space in this world and filling it.

One aspect of Water is emotion. It influences Mountain and is supported by Mountain. As rain, it soaks the soil and stimulates the growth of White Pine, Birch, Hemlock, Ash, Oak, and understory bushes like Mountain Laurel. Trees and bushes bud in springtime. Mountain comes alive in a new way with only slightly warmer temperatures and rain, precious Water.

Drinking deeply of my emotions is the drenching rain upon my Mountain. There’s discomfort as rain pours down in torrents, but the space and time after the storm is pure, generative repose. There is new growth upon the Mountain.
