Ocean carry me
Onwards to the next destination
I am here breathing
As the ocean is breathing
Watching the swell
Riding the tide
Sensing where it wants to go
I am aware that I am a part of something so much larger
But also of how I sometimes only find peace
In the quiet still moment
Of ocean heart breathing
Often the world outide me is too much
A vast restless ocean
Impossible to navigate
I would rather rest here
In the wholeness of a present moment
In which I am fully known
Now that you have gone
Passing from the finite into infinitude
I am aware as I never was
Of how vast and mysterious life can be
We try to carve it up into pieces
To make it more digestable
Taking our fill of what we need
We cannot always understand how life appears
From another point of view
Living within a different heart and mind
It is only from our own centre
That we can navigate a certain space
When we surrender to the ocean and allow it to carry us
Are we lost or are we found?
