A good dive.

[thejollyape]

There is something incredibly zen about a good dive. The up, the down, the breaking of the surface, continued down only to level out and then race upwards again. When you perfect that S movement your body ends up humming in pleasure. And for that one moment, in that one action, you don't even have to pretend you are in perfect balance with your body and your surroundings, because you are. It's harmony. Balance. And calm.

Classical meditation is not really my bag, but I'll gladly go swimming and dive off the edge a few times. Does me a world of good.
