fish



swimming the other week now it was - normally all the fish - just going about their business - swimming - feeding - chilling - doing whatever  fish do - but this one fish started to come for me - like - it's only a fish and all - but it was coming for me - me this comparatively big creature - but size didn't seem to matter - it had something to convey - it freaked me out - I'd flap my foot to keep it away - or wave my hand - all slow motion in it's fluid water world - kept it away for a second - before it relaunched itself towards me - I started swimming to shore - looking over my shoulder - still coming it was - like some kind of super awake being - a message for me - for us - for humankind - or just to nibble on me - but that seemed so not written on it's face - it's little fish face - all bursting with an urgency - that penetrated - beyond any layer of delusional superiority I may have held - that humans are greater than fish - hit me right in my core  - maybe that was the message - though so felt like there was something more

"if water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind"


Chuang Tzu
from a place
 where time slows
 to a pace
 beyond imagination

 riding waves is the 
perfect way 
to dance
 with the rhythms
of 
blues and whites

which never cease 
to amaze
and blend
 into a harmony 
of one.
