Dancing With The Currents


The seagulls drift overhead, they swoop down and glide above the water. Searching, seeking, playing in the winds. The fish that they are seeking in the clear blue water below swim along the currents of the sea. I am only slightly envious of their respective abilities to live in the sea and the sky. Fore today I am also gliding along the sea currents and playing in the winds above the sea. I am free to swim in the dark deep waters of my own imagination. Good times from the past wash over me and remind me of all that is good in the world. I reflect on the hard times also and chuckle at those stressful feelings that at the time I thought would consume me forever. There is no stress today. Nothing but total bliss. Jana walks in front of me and begins dancing like a child. She wears a t-shirt over her bikini and is not a bit self-conscious about the fact that she doesn't have any pants on. Just like a child, she doesn't have a care in the world. She laughs when she realizes that I saw her dancing to no music. I smile and raise my glass in a silent salute to the dance. She raises her glass back towards me. We consume our consumptables and I turn my attention back to the open sea.
