Relationships

The see saw of relationships.  The ebb and flow of depth like a tidal pool.  It’s like choosing at what depth to be at any moment as well as the rise and fall that comes from outside of you to which you have no control.  And yet, you can still choose if you are even in that precise pond or perhaps a different one altogether.  You may even find yourself in a pond that has already retreated – drained from around you, either slowly or rapidly, perhaps grasping to hold the water within your hands or finding there is nothing left before you had a chance to notice.  Leaving you with a feel of exposure or a band aid rip you were not ready for.  We all yearn to stay in a pool of warmth and comfort that has a depth of meaning but a foothold of stability.  An embracement of familiarity with deep nourishment, longevity and support that not just holds but allows you to leap.  A pool that withstands and understands the elasticity of emotions and allows for the stretch of growth.  But always remember, never forget to measure the temperature so not to become the frog in the boiling pot.  To assess your depth, your levels of nourishment and your strength of foot.  Know which pond and ponds to be in and which to not.  Understand at your core that the choice of ponds is always yours and most importantly that the spring from within is the infinite, nourishing source that is always yours in which allows the possibilities of the ponds around you and merges the interplay of your inter-connections.

In Gratitude and Love.
