Ocean

The coast of the Ocean
Where the water meets the land
A beautiful metaphor for the worlds that exist beyond.
The worlds we wish to reach, touch and know.
The energies, realms and galaxies that exist in our hearts.

A deep knowing
An understanding that just because our eyes cannot see into these realms
That the unknown does not simply cease to exist.

From the perspective of the beach
Nothing exists but the waves rolling over the surface
Shimmering diamonds, glistening patterns across the cresting breaks
Walking upon the dead creatures crushed by the power of the waves
Existing only beneath our feet between the cresting nothingness that spans across the horizon.

As I gaze upon the dancing, flowing surface illuminated by the sun
I know that deep, complex life exists beyond where my awareness lies in this moment.

The Truth is that mammals of massive size exist in families
Traveling for thousands of miles as their migration spans the globe
With their own unique languages, rituals and culture
As they make their pilgrimage each year, following the sun, the moon and
The deep knowing deep within their own souls to make the journey.

Deeper still within the ocean exist entire colonies and ecosystems
Underwater cities of coral, fish, sharks, crustaceans and more all living
In harmony with one another on created homes we call reefs.

All of this life, completely hidden by the expansive surface of the sparkling ocean
Life, experience and energy mere feet away from where my body resides on the shore
Teaming, expansive life existing, completely unnoticed by passerby’s.

Deep underneath the surging, breaking waves there is an ebb and flow
A rise and fall of the tide
A cycle to the days, the moon and the seasons
A shift in current as species migrate from one area of her waters to another
The depth of her prohibiting sunlight to penetrate her watery depths.

The sentient beings within the watery depths walk the line of realms
Such as we Humans do
Dolphins and Whales reach beyond their realm to reach beyond their world
To touch ours as world of land, sun and sand
Curious about us as a species
Reaching out for a connection to one another
We answer the call and dive into the depths to explore their world
To better understand one another and how we can exist peacefully together

As I walk this beach, waves crashing at my feet
An entire world exists, unknown to the eyes, a mere breath away.

Worlds
Realms
Spaces
All exist outside our perceptions
Some closer than the general population realize
All within our reach with practice and the correct tools.

Just as the watery depths of the Ocean can be explored
With correct equipment, tools and understanding
So can other planets, realms, realities and spaces

With great practice and proficiency free divers can reach great depths
Astronauts reach high into the sky, exploring worlds beyond our own
And Medicine Keepers can access the energies and realms unseen by most

So when you find yourself at the shore
Walk with purpose as your meander along
Waves cresting at your shins
For other realms exist mere feet away
So open your heart, breath in and welcome them in
And open to the possibilities of more.
