@SoulfullyAButterfly this is about the earth that surrounds the oceans so indirectly it is talking about the ocean.

I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves. More and more I want consistency, rather than the highs and the lows. Drew Barrymore.

But I will add the sometimes angry, sometimes calm sea. Big waves ( read problems), small waves, normal things that have to be done, even when you dont feel you can, and calm when you can do whatever you need or want to do.

@Lauren63 yes I like the ocean when it is calm. This video is the calm ocean I am aiming for. https://youtu.be/Jyy0ra2WcQQ When the ocean gets rough and dangerous then I have to do something or change what I am focusing on.

@soulsings Thank you. That was a mindfulness video I could actually understand. There is nothing like the sound of the waves on the shore!

@SakoombaKero thanks for your kind words. Free diving is amazing if you can do it. My deepest dive is in the bathtub smiley

@Lauren63 I like your reflections, they remind me of the quote that: "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf"

I decided to go with a less lyrical ocean quote because of the danger of plastics. 7 Cups attracts some of the most sensitive people in the world that can really help to turn things around. I feel hopeful around this community.

@Zengrl That is a wonderful idea, this quote has helped me think and perhaps yes, at least we can do our part.
