I was snorkeling in the Java Sea near Komodo Island. We were in open waters, for a brief period of time I could not see my companions or the boat or land. For that moment, I felt alone and frightened in the vastness. I surrendered to my fears and felt the LOVE and nurturing of the waters that surrounded me. It was true bliss as my sacred waters flowed in delight at feeling so much love, love of the Divine.
Then a huge, majestic manta ray swam beneath me leading me back to my friends.
Surrender is the key. When I am feeling the chaos rise up and the fears flaring, I will practice the breath of surrender and feel into the LOVE. The manta has shown me the way.
