Collection of Bubbles - What's in your head?

  

By

 Like a bubbling brook, love is gentle and pure 

 

  

The sun shines on all who stand in it...

 Out of the brightness

And away from the warmth 

Fears and insecurities 

Stand pale in the shadows,

 

- I won't feed them with idle thought

And they will starve and die…

 

When they do

I won't need go to the funeral

- Unless I wear bright colours

And dance!

 

 

My name is Rosa

I'm wearing the remnants of a flower.

I had a dream about moving towards a crashing wave,

The menacing power of the sea froze my courage

I was neither valiant nor daring.

Who was I?

 

In June 2010 I was on Venice beach (LA) looking out at the waves, I remembered this dream and wondered if I'd ever be able to enjoy a swim out into the waves. Well for the first couple of days I would not venture out further than the depth where my toes could access the bottom.

One of my friends got a surf board and swam out to play - all I could do was watch from a distance, like a seagull from the shore, while he splashed about like a seal.

The last day I was in LA I asked him for a surf board and determined to go beyond my limitations I headed for the water. I pushed the board ahead in the waves and disregarded any fretting - ignoring the negative feelings like I ignored the tie around my ankle.

If he could surf - then so could I.

I laughed and giggled every time I went down. Bubbles, salt, the board and other people around me were just going to be part of this experience.

My friend asked the others 'Did she stand? Did she get up on the board?'

The answer - 'Yes she did!'
