Dive into Life

This is how I have been feeling this week
hiking down into the gulch
summer is here
surf is flat
it's hot
 and
the water is beautiful
I have been going free diving with my family
when I get first get into the ocean
I am all amped up
 full of energy
 raring to go
exploring the bay
around the corner
 under rocks
deeper waters
and
 back to the cliffs
urchins
 all the fish of the rainbow big and little
 eel, crab, shellfish, turtles
never knowing what will be further ahead
Myself, my son and daughter, my boyfriend
and friends
the boys are spearfishing catching fish for dinner
the girls exploring looking for treasure
making my way back to shore
 back on the beach
my legs are rubber
still we have to climb back up the steep walls
looking back down saying a silent goodnight to the ocean
I am thankful
thankful I have this time with my family and friends
thankful at the end of the day that 
I choose
 to dive into life
with both feet
