As you walk to the ocean’s edge, you are about to experience a profound sense of connection. Dipping your toes in the salty water, you witness the spirits rising from the water to embrace you on the beach. Their salt, a symbol of their cleansing power, runs off them as you share your pain. This is a process of opening up and letting go, a testament to the unity you share with these spirits. As the pain builds, it’s like a sand castle reaching the sky, a monument to your resilience. Finally, you allow your sadness to fall back into the sea by dipping your feet or swimming. You cleanse your tears and let the salt do its work. Above all, you swim with the crying spirits of loss, for they were like you standing on the ocean’s edge of creation, pondering life. Together, you can heal each other. All it takes is a spiritual connection between love, salt, and water. ~ M
