"I am being carried by the waves of life. I am allowing life’s flow to carry me through where it may. I hear the sounds rumble and echo from down below, attempting to distract my peace. They soon drown out by stillness and silence from above. The water flapping in but back out of my ears. As I rest back into my trusting. Relaxed. Light. Being carried from wave to wave. I keep afloat reaching back to shore again. Inspired by one of the most unforgettable moments in the ocean in Bali. Although I was not alone, literally, that day, I felt as though everyone was quiet around me and it was just me, the water under me, and the air above me. Unlike other experiences in the ocean all across the world, that was a sacred moment for me. Life lessons are all around. Each day of our life. In the simplest of moments. Although all else may be active around you, keeping your quiet and bringing your attention to your own presence and truth, giving life a chance to speak to you is necessary. By paying attention that day, I allowed myself to hear and listen to the most powerful, grounded, profound lessons…I am free. I am liberated. I am alive...indeed lessons continue to carry me through life."
