Swim sweet swim

rahmat_hidayat

I feel moments of flying and gliding in the water are really sensational and recreational. Everyday I like to swim, never bored. Swimming for me is power booster at pre office hour, relaxation at rest hour, and stress relief at post office our. Why do feel swimming so sweet for you?

I like how it clears my head while I'm swimming and the endorphin sense of well-being afterwards.

I call it "swimming with the endolphins"-- it's physically challenging, repetitiously meditative, invigorating and relaxing, and mentally restorative. Plus, it makes me feel like I've actually accomplished something when I'm done!

Two things for me. First that feeling of just me and the water, nothing really else can intrude for that hour or so I am in the pool. Secondly it is the movement through the water, how tweaking the angle of my hand catches more or less water, how the follow through has my thumb brushing the top of my thigh and that little extra push before my arm leaves the water to start all over again...pretty sweet.

A SWIMMER IS A HORSEMAN
Swimming is licentiously sleeping in sprawling water.
is making love with each still operable pore
is endlessly being free and inwardly triumphing.

And swimming is touching solitude with fingers
is with arms and legs telling ancient secrets
to the always all-comprehending water.

I have to admit that I’m crazy for water.
For in water I breathe water, in water
I am a creator who embraces his creation
and in water you can never be wholly alone,
and still remain lonesome.

Swimming is being almost a little bit holy.
