Becoming immersed in wildness.
Absorbed by nature
Feeling the smallness of human
Warm blooded
By water
In water
Toes feeling the edges of the season
Growing in sensation
Seeping into my skin
Enveloped by the seasons
Entering ecological time
With every breath
Growing in my skin
Inspired by, awed by, immersed in, convening within, opening to, dissolving in, circulating within, watering, sensing being in water. Every day between moons I spend time in wild waters, be it river, lake, sea, home waters or afar.
Since Winter Solstice 2016 I have swum every day in outdoor waters, sometimes twice or more, sometimes in daylight, sometimes by night, having swum weekly all year round for a decade before that – I reflect on my deepening relatedness in nature. You can follow my posts on Instagram
