Deep, restful, I want to swim in it, but why?
Just staring at it soothes me, calms me into looking back. Where did I come from? Where am I going?
Back, it takes me back to the womb,
to the beginning of life, my life, all life.
All life began here, will all life end here, once again?
I watch the ebb and flow, back and forth, yes and no, maybe, maybe not, does it matter?
Does any of it matter?
Just go with the flow, swim in it, glide on it, let all thoughts fade away
until the slate is blank.
Can you do that? Make a blank slate in the deep dark color of life?
Life. It began here. It swarms with beings.
I am, therefore
I flow with all of you in the sea of life.

And many of us think about it more in the summer, as we caress the beach with our feet and look out over that sea!

Such beautiful thoughts and pictures. Lately, I want to swim in the ocean myself and not just look.at it but I ‘m in Europe and have to wait until August when I return to my little cove on the pacific.

I bet that Pacific cove, and all of its little creatures, can’t wait for your return too. 🙂

Just lovely. One of those things where I could hear a voice quite clearly reading this out loud. Oh dear, on reflection, maybe it’s not good if I can hear voices… 😉

I flow with you, too, Pam! Truly lovely. The water asks so many questions…errr….OK, maybe it’s us that the water inspires to ask. Happy belated 4th! Hope you had a wonderful day with delight in the questions and no expectation of answers. 😉

Great reminder to get into the flow. And sometimes, to simply float. . . .

Just floating is probably the hardest thing for us to do, and yet, maybe the most productive sometimes…?
