Hey , did you happen to watch Catalyst the other night? There was an

interesting segment on rips at beaches. Just thinking about your swimming

metaphor. Apparently the best thing to do in a rip is not to " swim horizontal

to the shore " as we've all been told and definitely not to try to swim against

it, but to just float. More than 95% of rips do a circle and if you just relax

and float on your back it will take you out and then bring you back in again -

pretty cool! Is there any way you can apply this to your situation? Just to

practice acceptance and to wait it out and not struggle, just enough effort to

float until the rip deposits you back on the shore (hopefully without a mouthful

of sand!)

I want/wish to accept that, the unfolding. I'm getting stuck in knowing moments

of freedom where future can exist in now and in moments where future was lost

long ago. Sometimes I feel like I am swimming with no view of land, maybe I'll

get there, I just keep swimming.
