“I have a question for you Water. What happens to the water in my body if I get angry at someone or if someone gets angry with me?”
“A very good question,” said Water. “In either case, the water in your body gets upset and causes you to not feel very well. You feel sad, or maybe you will cry. Crying is good because it puts good endorphins into your body, and you will start to feel better. They help the water in your body to recover.”

“It’s common to reject or punish yourself when you’ve been rejected by others. When you experience disappointment from the way your family or others treat you, that’s the time to take special care of yourself. What are you doing to nurture yourself? What are you doing to protect yourself? Find a healthy way to express your pain.”

And sure enough, the stream had jumped its banks. It looked like a torrent because it was running so fast. Joey had never seen the stream like that.”

“We are for the others to be cared and loved. We are for the others to be nurtured. We are for the others to be healed. Each of us is for the other so to find himself/herself. We are the power the others search in themselves... We are not to be hated and abandoned and ignored. Me is for You, no matter who you are.”
