Avatar, the way of the water.

The way of the water has no beginning and no end.
The sea is around you and in you,
The sea is your home, before your birth and after your death.

Our breath burns in the shadow of the deep,
The sea gives and the sea takes.
Water connects all things, life to death, darkness to light.
