Waterfalls

"The waterfall is a symbol of the beginning of human life. In psychology, a waterfall is a symbol of the self, as a cultural archetype - it is a reflection of deep feelings, in particular the unconscious, and more broadly the emotional part of mental life in general. K. G. Jung calls water "a dark mirror underlying the soul." The "meaning" of the waterfall is slowing down, paying attention to the beauty around us and listening to the sound of life, which we almost always ignore. This meaning is not intellectual, but a feeling generated by the experience itself. Combining the experimental significance of the waterfall with the intellectual realization that the waterfall symbolizes the transformation of energy, we come to understand that finding time to slow down and listen to the sounds of nature can bring transformation for us. Combining intellectual understanding with sensory experience is a powerful tool in exploring oneself."
