The flood waters wash away all that is not tied down. So it will be with the coming floods. Only those rooted in the Woman will withstand the onslaught, not trying to conquer, to stop the waters or to them back. This is an impossible task. The goal is to survive, to live for a new day. It is not the time to plant or to harvest, to sow or to reap. Only when the floodwaters recede will human life resume. Until then, safety exists only with the Woman.
