Leave the land, go to sea
Face down and with heart up
Think south, but head north—
Keep breathing, stop thinking
Abandon fear, notice beauty
Feel the water, forget the chill
Be each wave, no direction, no destination
Change form, stay fluid
Accept change, reject loss
For nothing is lost, really, just absorbed like the sea dissolves a wave
To float is to trust the unknown, to know that you are but a wave
Dancing, falling, flowing through and of the mystery that is life
There is no end, just a new wave to take you
Do not resist, for to live fully is to surrender
Water surrenders and still conquers all
Gives life, takes life, moves life, calling us back
To now
