Flow.

This prose, or perhaps talk even, was written by myself to capture a ‘cold water swim’; a swim experience underwritten by mindfulness and meditation. My teaching of meditation and mindfulness, is imbued with themes of nature, metaphor, rhythm and flow. Along with secular meditation practice, I was a successful competitive open water swimmer for many years. However, more often, I would just love to swim alone in streams and lakes where I live, gliding through silky fresh water, simply surrendering and lost to ‘flowing’. As you listen, I hope I capture the mindful feel and sense of leaving your warm car on a cold autumnal day, entering the cold water, and finally, your body and mind, surrendering in to ‘flow’.
