Swimming...

I feel like I'm swimming and the edge of the pool is creeping farther from my grip. I am beginning to wonder if my tired body will give in to the current before I can make it to safety. My bobbing head keeps filling with water, only making things worse and my lungs sore. There is too much information for me to soak in; yet, not enough to even begin to understand what may be ahead. The more I think, the more scared I become and I know I can't tread much longer. When suddenly, I stop thinking and start feeling. My heart becomes steady and stronger than before, somehow giving my wearied body the strength to keep going. I now understand I am not alone, as I feel so much love surrounding me. My head becomes immersed in the water and as I make my way to the surface, I realize I have made it to safety. Today I went for a swim....tomorrow will start on dry land.
