Go on with your story

Today was a good day.  One of those days that leaves you feeling awake and alive, as if you're sparkling from the inside.  And shockingly, this has nothing to do with the weather (the rain has only ever quit to regain strength and then begin again) or the endorphins I got from my morning run (though, I'll admit they do work their mood-shifting magic).  Nope.  Today was a good day because it just was.  And I love that.

And I also love this and hope you do to:


                             Now I'm aware that I alone am in the vast
                                  openness
                                  of the sea
                             And cause the sea to be the sea.

                             Just swim.
                             Just swim.
                             Go on with your story.
