Wise Woman Healing CO

My granny always said the last rinse of the sink water held the whole feeling of the day.
If you let it swirl down the drain angry or rushed, the house would keep that mood till morning.
Every evening she would stand at the sink a moment before she pulled the plug.
Hands still wet, steam rising soft around her, she would whisper,
Take what was heavy. Leave what was good.
I used to think she was just talkin to herself, but now I know she was settin the house right for the night.
Ritual of the Last Rinse
When you finish your dishes, fill your hands with a little warm water from the sink.
Hold it a moment and breathe once for the day you had.
Let the water go slow, not all at once.
Say, Take what was heavy. Leave what was good.
Wipe the sink clean with one steady pass to clear the rest.
Let the house settle easy around you.
Some magic is quiet.
Some magic is simple.
And some magic is just the way mountain women kept a home steady.
