37. Day 23: Serenity

Day 23: Serenity

Every morning at sunrise, Zuko would sit on the balcony with a quartet of candles, and meditate with fire; the flames rising and falling in time with his breaths.

Every evening, right after sunset, Katara would take a bowl of water out to the balcony and meditate in the way Zuko had taught her long ago. The water would shift to and fro in the bowl, tiny tides matching her rhythmic breathing.

Neither disturbed the other during meditation; the time to refresh their spirits, and find serenity with their elements. But after each meditation came smiles, caresses and words of love.
