2010 Daily Journal Page Challenge -- Day 78: Into the Deep

Synchronicity can be a startling, evocative, or transforming experience. Or it can be a jumping off point, where you question the magic of circumstance and gratefully, joyfully celebrate it, or see the event as a harbinger of change. The spread today reflected my rather moody self. Yet the images seemed to speak to both parts of me -- the one that feels as if its drowning, and the one that seems to be a determined warrior with the energy and drive to keep moving through this life. As I was gluing down the text I had chosen, "into the deep", a song came up randomly in my ipod shuffle mix. Out of my library of 3,385 songs Bird York's, "In the Deep" began to play. Amazing. How about that? I just tilted my head back and laughed. To me, this little, probably scientifically explainable event, is a nod towards continuing on. And what I draw from it is that swimming in the deep -- living in the unknown, the I don't know, the hey I think I'm drowning here -- is often the only way to move towards the heart's desire.

Thought you had all the answers

to rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
don't see it coming,
now you can't stop yourself.
Now you're out there swimming...
In the deep.
In the deep.

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you... Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
and you throw yourself off.
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
