The surrender is the tricky part. It took me several
childhood summers and lots of adult loving encouragement i.e.; trust building,
to learn to float. Now I crave it.
I sat poolside Friday waiting for the noon joints-in-motion class to start. When I realized that by some quirky twist of
circumstances I would be the only student that day I said to the PT who leads
us, “If it’s all the same to you, I’d just like to swim.”
“Be my guest,” she replied. She got goggles for both of us and
we swam and stretched for nearly an hour. It was heavenly despite no view of
sky. And quiet. No instructions, no conversation. I ended my healing time in
the water with a luxuriously long float.
And that is when I thought to myself, “What else might I
surrender? What more can I release?
What things, people, beliefs, behaviors that block healing – what might
any of us let go?”
