Many Seniors are water-people.

The Powerful Influence of Deep Water

A large majority of our senior population are water-people.

The majority of ‘deep water’ individuals are hard workers and have experienced many of life’s hard lessons. In earlier years, they may have been a strong earth or metal element; a sensitive nurturer or a technical whiz in their profession. Now they bring a plethora of knowledge to any situation. Experience has shaped their philosophy and we can look to them for guidance and direction.

Water people often become specialists in their professions. Many judges, surgeons, pastors or priests, bank managers and senior politicians are water people. In fact, water-people can be a powerful influence and governing force in society.

Many seniors enjoy solitude and quiet environments to process their contemplative thoughts. Think of deep water: still, restful, insightful, wise, authoritative, powerful and experienced. They may have been able to trot around the globe in the past, but are now happy to re-visit these places via the computer or the TV. As an armchair traveller, they can continue to obtain knowledge without undue effort. They often reflect on what is wrong with the world, and can become critics of society. And, possessing a dry sense of humour, they can offer both advice and criticism at the same time. Lacking patience, the lines at the stores will be too long for them, no matter where they shop.

The deep water image of ‘still and restful’ can become stagnant as the years roll by. By becoming less social and less active, water people run the risk of depression. Many people need mental stimulation to keep the brain sharp: incorporate crosswords puzzles, card games and new computer skills into the routine. When the body starts to change, it is important to keep the mind healthy.

Be patient with our resources. Senior water people are our grandparents of society. Like the wise owl in the woods, they can dispense guidance and understanding to all.~
