I Said That The Oceans Were Sick

I Wake Up Saying, I'm Still Alive; A Miracle. And So I Keep On Pushing.

Through The Window Of My Mask I See A Wall Of Coral, Its Surface A Living Kaleidoscope Of Lilac Flecks, Splashes Of Gold, Reddish Streaks And Yellows, All Tinged By The Familiar Transparent Blue Of The Sea.

I Experimented With All Possible Maneuvers-loops, Somersaults And Barrel Rolls. I Stood Upside Down On One Finger And Burst Out Laughing, A Shrill, Distorted Laugh. Nothing I Did Altered The Automatic Rhythm Of The Air. Delivered From Gravity And Buoyancy, I Flew Around In Space.

From Birth, Man Carries The Weight Of Gravity On His Shoulders. He Is Bolted To Earth. But Man Has Only To Sink Beneath The Surface And He Is Free.

It Takes Generosity To Discover The Whole Through Others. If You Realize You Are Only A Violin, You Can Open Yourself Up To The World By Playing Your Role In The Concert.
