Drink the liquid

The energy of this place reflects off of every tree limb and leaf of the canopy above you. The golden glow of the pool envelops you in bliss as you make your life-tortured hands into a cup. Pushing your hands against the tension of the pool's surface you feel the healing warmth swirl into your palms. Raising your cupped hands, the watery streaming lines drizzling back into the pool, you bring the liquid to your mouth. You feel the gold nectar soften your lips as you pull the slightly viscous fluid into your mouth and let it slide down your throat. Like drinking liquid velvet, it coats your mouth, throat, and stomach in a tingling of rebirth.

As you study the subdued sweetness of the nectar lingering in your mouth, your mind burst into life. Your eyes snap open as you see the forest around as if for the first time. You can feel your five senses heightened as the soft breeze kisses your exposed skin. The gold tinted colors of every leave, rock, and tree trunk take on a new sharpness. The sounds of the turning font mingle with the swaying creaks of the trees and of all the distant moving life of the forest. Rejuvenated with the crisp senses of a new born paired with the cognizance of a full grown adult, you experience an awareness you’ve never known before.
