Dive into the Deep

Poised and ready, like standing on the end of the high dive, arms outstretched.

Taking a deep breath just before putting all that you’ve practiced, all that has been coming through and to you, into the air — then into the water. Total release.

Like the point of a pen — all that is welled up is now on the point and ready to release. It hasn’t been penned up — it has been in the joy of the learning, the process of becoming — but there comes a point where you’re ready to lay it all out, for anyone who may be gathered in attendance to view.

In support of. In witness of.

Rather than competition, as you’ve experienced — though it is in unison. Like the raising of the baton for the symphony to begin. All has coordinated to this very moment — this now of creation.

So steady. You’ve got this. You’re ready. It will be almost without thought; your body knows. It has felt the movements — of your twists and turns, the breath.

Breathe deep — then spring and release.

You will feel good — even pride in this way is good, in that you’ve prepared millennia and lifetimes for this moment.

No splash is necessary or desired — a quiet entrance into the pool of All, and a blending with the water of flow, as you are.

A perfect score — of sound and culmination.

You’re now at the base of the next mountain, and ready to climb.
