Becoming the ocean in us
Every second breath we take the oxygen comes from the oceans.
Take a deep breath and listen to the water.
Feel the presence and wisdom of our ancestors.
To (re)connect, tune in to the wavelength of the oceans, just let it happen.
Feel the tide resonating through your body.
Dry your salty tears and dive into the knowledge deep down under.
Let your fluids resonate with the water like communicating vessels.
Let go of a fixed idea of body and identity, become fluid.
Now anything can happen.
