Just you and I
Under one sky

One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling

“When a trout rising to a fly gets hooked on a line and finds himself unable to swim about freely, he begins with a fight which results in struggles and splashes and sometimes escape.

Often, of course, the situation is too tough for him.

In the same way the human being struggles with his environment and with the hooks that catch him.

Sometimes he masters his difficulties; sometimes they are too much for him.

His struggles are all the world sees and it naturally misunderstands them.

It is hard for a free fish to understand what is happening to a hooked one.”

– Karl Menniger

Only in movement could she experience consistently the sense of magic, completion, wonder that came only sporadically when she was still. Coffeeshops and music and good friends made her feel this way. But she missed the airports and the spark in the air of foreign countries and the feeling of being utterly alive and yet completely detached from her surroundings.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
-Mark Twain

Thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
don’t see it coming, now
you can’t stop yourself.
Now you’re out there swimming…
In the deep.
In the deep.

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you… Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
and you throw yourself off.
Now you’re out there spinning…
In the deep.

Bird York- “In the Deep”
