Lake...
I've written about my lake a few times before, here. It is time for an update...
Back in August of 2010 this is what my lake looked like:
Certainly an improvement on the bucket in a grey room, but really not much water in it. I know it was August 2010, because I took a picture of what it looked like... it looked like clear water inside one of my favorite teacups, resting on our dinning table. It pretty much reflects what things were like back then, I was beginning to feel better, but no energy for external things or any extras.
After that I don't remember looking at my lake until last week. I was pleasantly surprised at the change! My lake is now a vast expanse of water, so vast I can not see the shores, there is water as far as the eye can see. This lack of visible shores gives me a mild feeling of uneasiness, like it could all drain away any moment, its not enough to worry me, just enough that I remain alert. It is not easy to see where the water ends and the sky begins. The water is clean and the surface reflects the color of a pale blue sky. The surface is still, there is not a ripple to be seen. The lake is only a few meters deep, but deep enough that I can not see the bottom. The lake looks calm but under the water there are many currents. Hinting at hidden power and coming change. I suspect exciting times are coming and feel like I have the strength to cope, its fragile but its there...
