Swimming
I was swimming .. I was doing my usual sprints which are supposed to tire me out and make me feel like iv exercised .. but then after a while i just eased up and flipped over on my back .. i thought how nice if it rained now .. and sure enough it started drizzling .. just enough so I could still keep my eyes open and watch the clouds shifting .. i was just floating there suspended in this heavenly fluid medium that gently massaged my back .. watching the tiny droplets strike the surface of water and make it sparkle .. partly immersed so the sounds except for the gentle lapping of the water were masked .. and that really hightens ones senses I realised .. once my brain was free from interpreting the millions of unnecessary sounds ..there was an enhanced sensation of how the water felt on my skin.. how light and bouyant I felt .. I was at home much more here than I was on solid ground.. I was so relaxed I had to keep myself from falling asleep right there . Or maybe I was just tired .. aren't we all ? After that when I began swimming again It was no longer a hurried stroke but very gentle and rhythmic .. there's a rare moment when u feel ur in sync with ur surroundings and this was one of them .. it was like I was moving effortlessly my limbs were moving of their own accord my breathing was perfectly synced and not laboured .. it was hard to wake up from this reverie and climb out of the pool .
