| Receiving
a bowl from the Water Mala is an invitation to look at water in
a vibrant new way, personalizing water’s vitality in our lives.
It is to be part of a larger body and instill an awareness that
each drop is sacred to life. Mindful that your bowl’s daily
water level depends on your attention, and left unattended it will
go dry. With care, your bowl will stay full, bringing a fresh sense
of the “view outside the window”, quietly connecting
each Water Mala participant while raising awareness to the beauty
of preserving our most vital resource.
Each bowl is
individually hand formed from local stoneware, then fired with layers
of an emerald blue/green glaze. Each bowl is one of a group of 108
dedicated as a Mala (Buddhist Rosary) in a water ceremony by Hermitage
Heart priest Bonnie Myotai Treace at Gristmill Hermitage in Garrison,
NY, or at other sacred sites, as part of their 108 Bowl: Water Mala
project (www.108bowls.org).
