physical waters, spiritual waters
cleansing waters, the washing of the Holy Spirit
anointing, laying on of hands, healing
transforming our lives, in our baptism
walking in the living waters of Christ
filling us for our calling, our ministry,
each one, unique, precious, essential, needed
strengthening us, empowering us,
to the work still, in need, to be done
the power of Pentecost, the dove
resting on each one
the waters cleansing us
making us his own
