“There are mountains behind you and mountains before you, but you need neither return to your former heights nor seek further heights to come. Rather, follow the valley, just as the water does, and let the river lead the way.
“How is it that you have forgotten the wisdom of water and the guidance that water gave you in finding your way? You thought that by bending the rivers to your will, and by harnessing the power of water as it fell, that you could have its power and exercise its subtle wisdom and claim them as your own. You must know that you belong to the water and with the water, rather than the other way around.
“Water is not your resource but your lover. You must repent and seek Her forgiveness and return to following her way. Of all the elements, it is She who first will guide you, and carry you, and bear you up, and return you to the land from which you came.”
