You are full of joy. You greet the waves like old friends as you swim.
Blue is your favourite colour.
You let go and enjoy being carried.
I am afraid when I can no longer see the ground beneath me. The vastness and depth of the water make me uneasy. But you lie calmly on the surface and let it move around you. No worries about what lies below. You trust.
You tell me, “It’s so beautiful to be carried by the water. Let yourself be carried.” I take it to heart.
Today I can swim in deep blue water. I can jump bravely from a boat into the sea. I have taken your words to heart, just as I have taken your love for the sea. It lives in me now. And every time I swim in the sea, I think of you.
