dive

i remember being at the bottom of the sea, touching a sea anemone, marveling at the discovery of a new and expansive world. i remember hearing my breathe quite loudly - inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale... as bubbles form above me. i remember being cradled, sustained by its pristine waters. i remember trusting its omnipotence and power over me. i remember being the sea and of the sea.
