Immersion

"God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled." 
~Author Unknown


 

This life is an endless pool of wonders full of lessons at every splash
we must dive in at the deep end with all the guts and strength we have
life cannot be truly lived observing at the water's edge
you have to utterly submerge until every fiber of your being is wet
it is an exploration that carries one deeper as it goes
a baptismal of guidance more profound as the heavier current flows
so immerse yourself in life like a missionary with a mighty cause
for no one else can swim it for you it's your own gain or your own loss.
