I worried briefly that floating on the top of the water and looking down, I might feel some vertigo, but, thankfully, I didn't in the least. I truly felt at "home".<br />I truly had that unexpected and wondrous revelation that C.S. Lewis spoke of: "You don't have a soul, you are a soul. You have a body."<br />Wow! When God meets us where we are and we are open to Him, the miraculous happens!<br />Thank you for praying with me, dear, and enjoy all the adventures your life has in store for you!<br />Blessings ever!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-10288498063392091652012-03-09T15:53:13.735-08:002012-03-09T15:53:13.735-08:00This is something I'll never try.

I'm truly afraid of water~ what more of diving deep :P...<br /><br />The spiritual sense is so beautiful...it's almost reaching heaven with your description...maybe that is what buoyancy is all about... we're meant to be weightless...<br /><br />I pray with you.
