10 metre walk, Day 66/108

So many 10 metre walks to share here. They just feel lost in the time lapse that took place in the last two months.

I sense a shift within me. Some fundamental realisations of who I have been.

It feels like the sound of the ocean waves.

Moving closer to this imagination. I am coming closer to my body, to what it senses and feels.

Everytime they rise and fall at the shore, they subtly move the sand bed beneath my feet. Nothing really stay still under its grasp.

When I meet the fall of the waves further inside of the shore, I wobble and loose balance for a few seconds, and I am totally swept away. My eyes can’t see clearly. My mind is confused due to the waters scooping me in from unexpected sides.

My body does not understand how it can gain control in such a state. So, I let it flow. Uncomfortable, thrilled, excited, scared, Joyful, all at once in just a few seconds.

Once I find my feet touching the sand bed. I try to ground myself first and then balance.

All drenched, catching my breath, I look at the sunrise gleaming and waters shimmering. In a moment I find myself in absolute reflection of this grand opening.

Unknown

Everything stands clear in front of my eyes, Illuminating who I have been, to this present moment.

Trust in the process is what I take home, In my heart, right now.
