The Tide

Rhythms. tide, tidal waves, what is your tide doing today?

Is it low water? Do you give more of your beach for people to have fun on?  Or are you on high tide splashing and washing away any evidence of guests?

Are you drawn back, hiding from the world, avoiding contact with anyone, gliding through our day on the winds of time, letting it take you where you need to be, without any effort?

Or are you enthusiastic?  Washing/Crashing against any who dares to come near?  Sharing your secrets, revealing your gifts.  Open to scrutiny, judgement, enjoyment?

Are you 'waving' aggressively one after the other, mixing your beaches as if in search of something lost buried deep in the sand?  Or are you calm, restful, slowly moving to and through, hardly moving any sand?

Are you living peacefully waiting for something to happen, or are you moving ferasly making something happen, even if the efforts are unwanted?  even if this something is not what you wanted after all?

Can you hear the moon calling?  Slowly pulling you in towards it?  The magnetic mesmerising gase that somehow asks you to move closer, as if you have a will not to.  And you think you can, but your physical body that is the sea moves not with your thoughts, but with the desires of the moon.  The mood cannot be ignored, cannot be disobeyed.
