Sa Caleta at Night

Sa Caleta is where Ciutadella locals swim in the evenings. A simple 15 minute dip to cool off from the giant fireball in the sky that’s tried to do them in all day.

When I swim here it’s as if all the world is rejoicing in my presence. As if I’m welcomed in to finally arrive here. Yes, ok, I’ll take that bet. I’ll put myself here by way of Divine Mastery, cause only the Master’s hand would have dropped me into such a perfect paradise as this and allowed me to open like a flower to the world’s blooming potential.

We have created a world where we barely look at one another, let alone trust each other. We live our lives primarily online through social media. When I swim here an ancient inner trust is restored. A trust that I have a right to be here on this earth, my path before and behind me are congruently seamless with an angelic team holding me every step of the way.

When I swim out to the far buoy I am trusting that I am held. When this experience finds each one of us we can be reborn.

My friend Carly said to me yesterday: “You need something that big, as big as the ocean to learn that lesson”

Yes, and that dramatic.

*these thoughts came out of me around the same time there was a kid with a gun at the Lane County Fair in Eugene, OR, shots were fired in a personal attack and hundreds of people fled. I question my desire or ability to come back home to the United States. It is my home but I’m enjoying the feeling of being held by ancient waters who don’t allow that kind of shit to grace it’s shoreline.

I study my own experience and document it through poetry, observation and prose. I’m in a constant state of rebirth, looking into the soul of the new earth.
