THE WATERS
The Woman's journey through the Waters
The Woman in the Waters of Darkness
The Wanderer is in an unstable, ever changing situation, in the
middle of a great darkness: any move is dangerous, a watchful separation
is recommendable. In contrast to the Abysses, where one can save himself
by just keeping still, here danger is active, it hunts the wanderer,
since the Waters, like confusion, are restless and invasive.
In this situation inert passivity may be as incorrect as an impulsive
move. In these conditions a certain flexibility is necessary, but
the least possible . We can compare it to someone in a ship that is
moving with the waves on pitch dark night: the sailor only does what
is necessary to keep him afloat, and does not navigate in any particular
direction.
When the combination is total darkness and instability, merely surviving
is considered a success.
Keys: When things become uncertain, and one is unprepared, the
best thing to do is to take a step back and not initiate any movement.
