Why can’t I simply ride the current in the direction it flows? Somehow, and I don’t know why, I feel more alive swimming upstream….Lately, chaos rules the state. So within. So without. Through entering a state of 38F water I explore the chaos within, seeking an antidote to reflect an ordered without. I employ 2 mantras; let the water hold me and be one with the water…my heart must first open…

It’s always been about the swim. Strip away all the crap that surrounds it and what remains is you and the water.

Imagine a world so mysterious in which you are weightless, yet it holds your entire body with an effortless force. A place where darkness becomes light and opens to you the freedom to explore the depths of the minutiae of your being or wander freely and mindlessly through nothingness….
