When I was younger, I'd swim to the bottom of the pool and lay down with my eyes closed and relax for as long as I could. In those small moments, I would try to imagine what letting myself drown peace fully would be like. Or peace and quiet in something deeper than me. Being under the water was quiet, but it spoke volumes to me. It told me of life, of inner life. The quiet , peacefulness that every living creature has in us , if only we could discover it in ourselves and in something deeper, like god and his given peace in moments we need him; or when you're looking at your soul mate and you're both quiet. It's deeper, like being underneath the waters surface. It's always moving, it's always thrumming with life, but it is quiet. and it is peaceful.
