RESIST NOTHING

I had a dream once that I was at the shore, wading in the ocean. A wave knocked me down; I was immediately caught in the riptide and pulled out to sea. I knew I was drowning, and I heard me say, "Just breathe through the water, just breathe." And I did and walked away.

This morning I read from The Illuminated Rumi:

Late, by myself, in the 

boat of myself, 

no light and no land 

anywhere.

Cloud cover thick.

 I try to stay 

just above the surface, 

Yet I'm already under 

and living 

within 

the ocean.

Thank You.
