I found it, the great under water Utopia. . .
And it's my pool.
It was cold at first but by the end I made myself believe to get out of the pool I would have to enter the water. Once I did, I just about did not want to get out. I sat there cleaning it for a bit but then. . .
I just stopped. It still contained pine needles from nearby trees but I remembered how much I loved the quiet underwater feel. I held my breath and dropped in the water once more. As I listened I heard absolutely nothing. No one screaming at me. No one sharing their problems that I couldn't help them with, nothing, but the sound of moving water and my heart.
I went to the top and layed flat, practicing keeping myself up. I sat there breathing and listening to my heart. It's amazing how aware you are of them both when that's all you hear. I dropped in the water once again, saying good bye to my paradise.
I came up and I could still feel my heart, still hear my breathing rather strongly. . .
Over birds, animals, traffic and the motor to the pool filter.
But I felt calm.
Like I had discovered some great secret, solved my problems and now I was at peace.
I'm ok with everything right now. . .
and I'm loving my piece of Atlantis.
