Ocean Dance
Feet sink into soft sand
partnered with a sense of solidity.
Slowly she scans the ocean,
allows her body to suspend
in its salty embrace.
Every part of her held,
awareness wide,
she is at once
here, there,
everywhere.
She surveys the surface
more closely,
watches the interplay
of wind and waves and light,
gently adjusts
to the cadence of immersion.
At times she ducks her head,
dives into the cresting whiteness.
At others she turns her back,
braces for impact,
embodies her innate strength and wisdom.
During the in-betweens
she relaxes ever more deeply into grace,
enjoys the absence of fear.
Soaking in the Divinity of it all,
she turns herself over to
the healing power
of this salty dance,
frolics with a fresh, vibrant
awareness of inclusion.
