As tensions hold
The edge
Between manageable
And overwhelmed,
Between spared
And flooded,
Be tender.
As scales tip
To potentiate
Disaster
And fluctuate
From safe
To calamitous,
Be kind.
Remember how
Critical times
Hold within them
The balance
Of rebuilding
On the fabric of
Strength
And profound
Understanding.

Thank you! I felt the image of water–in this case the trickle of clean, naturally rock-filtered water in an underground cave–was a good metaphor for both the inundation by floods and the paradoxical lack of clean water in so many places. The balance that is so delicate in all of us and in the world around us. We can none of us live without it. Too little and we drought. Too much and we drown.
