Notes
Mayim Mayim means ìwater waterî, of the the water of life,
taken from Isaiah (XII 3)...
ìAnd you will draw water with joy, 
out of the wells of salvation.î
When running into the center of the circle,
and calling ìMayim, Mayimî,
we are running like streams to the eternal ocean
from which, in cloud and rainbow, we come.
The word ìMayimî, when traced into the ancient Aramaic,
has the same roots as a common word for the divinity, 
and most likely, traced back further, the same roots as the divine mother, 
Mar being a name for the Goddess and the Sea.
