WATER TECH(KNOW)LOGY, ANCESTRAL EMBODIMENT AND PRACTICE
THE
WATA(RING)
W(HOLE)
The Wata(ring) W(hole) is a living planet of Water Tech(know)logy—an embodied spiritual practice where ancestral memory, body wisdom, community care, and relational ritual meet.
This terrain teaches how to cross thresholds with intention, move with cycles of flow and containment, and tend spiritual practice as lived relationship rather than abstraction.
Here, water is not metaphor alone—it is method, rhythm, and relational technology for sustainable embodiment.
Edge / Threshold
Water is the seam.
Where the world loosens its grip on solid ground.
A place to pause with one foot in what was
and one foot in what’s becoming.
Water remembers how to change without losing itself.
Ice, breath, rain—
the same essence learning new shapes.
A soft permission to become.
(TRANS) FORMATION
PAS(SAGE)WAYS
Portals
Water is a crossing.
Rivers that carry endings.
Oceans that hold migrations.
You enter as one name,
you surface as another.
In-Between Consciousness
Water reflects and dissolves the self at once.
A mirror that moves.
A truth that won’t hold still long enough to be owned.
Here, knowing is felt, not named.
Ancestral & Cosmological Memory
Water holds what came before us.
Salt in the blood.
Oceans in the body.
Every sip a remembering
older than language.
Time Made Soft
Water keeps time without clocks.
Tide. Erosion. Return.
What leaves teaches how to come back
without force.
The Wata(ring) W(hole) is where thresholds gather, where change is allowed to be slow, where crossings are witnessed, where the self loosens into truth, where ancestors hum in the blood, and time is taught how to rest.

Wildfire as Water Tech(know)logy Fire inside the Wata(ring) W(hole) Fire is not outside the Wata(ring) W(hole). Fire is one of the forces that shapes water, land, and memory. How fire moves determines whether water is honored or evaporated. Not all fire is the same.
Colonial Wild Fire
Speed without end. Extraction without restoration. Heat without care.
Colonial Wild Fire is uncontrolled burn.
It moves fast, scorches land, drains water, and leaves no time for listening.
Its technology is urgency, scarcity, and spectacle.
It teaches bodies to live in constant emergency.
In the body, Colonial Wild Fire looks like:
-
rushing care
-
productivity without rest
-
consuming knowledge without embodiment
-
styling without listening
-
taking from community without tending relationship
Colonial Wild Fire creates The Hole—
absence where fullness should be,
extraction where reciprocity belongs.
It overheats the Watering W(hole) until memory evaporates.
Indigenous Wildfire
Sacred heat. Slow burn. Fire in relationship.
Indigenous Wildfire is intentional burn.
It clears what is dead without destroying what is alive.
It restores soil, protects water pathways, and makes space for new growth.
In the body, Indigenous Wildfire looks like:
-
sacred pace
-
rest as practice
-
tending memory before moving forward
-
burning away what no longer fits
-
clearing space for ancestral alignment
Indigenous Wildfire works with Water Tech(know)logy—
it warms without boiling,
it clears without extraction,
it restores pathways for water to move.
This fire does not erase memory.
It prepares the ground for Sankofa.
