The ocean has been stormy for days, interrupting my normal routine of swimming out to the reef and hunting up some dinner… I say my prayers and blessings and out I go!
The surf’s too big, the water too murky. Finally, today I got the impulse to go. I drove to the beach, got my snorkel gear ready, and looked out to the sea…
It was gray and brown and murky… the murk scares me, you can’t see a thing, and there’s sharks out there…
“Come”, she whispers… but I’m scared.
I’ve gotten the willies in murky water so bad, I had to turn around and go back to shore…
“Come”…
Just saw a movie @ water, was reminded just how powerful our love and prayers are… Dr. Emoto and many more scientists reporting the miraculous results of love transforming the molecular structure of water… a way to give back, a way to say ‘thanks’…
So in I go… at the very least, I will pray!
And pray I do…
“I love you! Thank you! Thank you, I love you!” is my mantra as I kick my way out thru seawater so murky, I can’t see my own hands…
And I love you! Thank you! You are incredible! My love is honoring you, vitalizing you, celebrating you!
I feel this divine ecstasy rising within me… love coming to the surface, into the sea…
I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU!!!
Very big grin, very big smile… feeling this love received, feeling it blessing and awakening the waters… beyond what I can know…
Still swimming out to the reef, the water gets clearer… I can just see dark and white images of the bottom 20 feet below… it gets deeper, bottom fades…
I’m also looking for dinner, am headed to a common lobster hole on the far edge of the reef… I swim left, then right, lining up the edges of two buildings on the shore… when they line up just right, I dive down, looking for lobster…
Its 25 feet deep here, halfway down I start to make out the bottom… am I in the right place? I look around for familiar landscape…
And come face to face with a beautiful eagle ray!
Now, I’ve only seen one eagle ray in all my Florida diving, and here I almost bump into one! What are the chances of that???
Up to the surface to catch my breath… pulling the camera from the weight belt, two quick breaths and back down I go, looking, looking…
Beautiful Eagle Ray off Florida Coast
Tell me that looking at this Eagle Ray’s spots doesn’t mesmerize you…
