How water was created
Inspired by Shunya ji‘s powerful Shiva-Shakti Mandala discourse in yesterday’s Kula I awoke wondering how water was formed. Here is what I found out.
HOW THE UNIVERSE LEARNED TO FLOW
Before form, there was hydrogen — light, simple, vast, unbounded — the silent Shiva of the cosmos, pure potential drifting across infinite space.
Then came oxygen, forged in the heart of stars — dynamic, catalytic, restless — the Shakti who activates and transforms.
On a tiny grain of cosmic dust, these two forces met: Shiva’s stillness and Shakti’s movement. In their union, hydrogen offered its single electron, and oxygen embraced it, forming a new being — Water, the first flowing thing.
Where there had been only stillness and fire, now there was flow, continuity, and the possibility of life. Water became the mandala where Being and Becoming embraced, the cosmic dance made visible.
Every drop of water carries this story — the eternal dance of Shiva and Shakti, the marriage of potential and power, the moment the universe learned to flow.
this is lovely but it caused me to confirm there are TWO hydrogen and ONE oxygen. I am NOT good at chemistry, but doesn't this mean hydrogen offered TWO not one - I assume electrons is the right term altho I always thought molecules. I didn't know if both terms are correct so I googled: When two hydrogen atoms bond, each with one electron, they share their two electrons to form a stable molecule (𝐻2). Sorry to disturb this poetry, your dance.
(a bizarre way to start my day but wish I had not missed the Kula; hope it is recorded altho not sure where to find it since I am new here and did not know there were Kulas, which is a new word for me & also lovely.)
