I’m desperate and wanting. Waiting and thinking. Dipping and fetching. Hungry and thirsting. Yet, it’s not my first time. I’ve gone full circle. And I’m still searching.
Man: Woman, you are thirsty! Your are wilted and dry inside.
Woman: You need not say it. For I can feel it and you can see it. I have been here, waiting for you to give me water that I may not thirst again.
Man: Not only do I see it, but I feel it, too. But we have been here before. Then, I gave you all you would ever need.
Woman: I must have poured it on the floor. It must have dried up or It must have been taken from me. Whichever it might be, I have lived in misery, since then!
Man: I was there, as I am here. But once it was given to you, It cannot be taken from you- Unless you give it away.
Woman: I have it?
Man: You never lost it. Behold, your cup is full. Your heart is glad. You eyes can see. You have been set free.
