Mysterious and fascinating, 

Mermaids have memorized

 the human mind for over 5,000 years.

From early childhood memories

 of Hans Christian Anderson’s

 Little Mermaid,  

Disney’s beloved “The Little Mermaid” 

to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books,

humans just can’t seem

 to get enough of mermaids. 

It's not just the western cultures, 

but the Japanese, Philippines, and the Russians have been fascinated 

for centuries as well.

There seems to be a drop

 of the ocean in us all.

When we stand before the ocean

 we can feel it calling us to remember....

who we are and where we are going.

“The Sea Beckons Me”

What I Learned

This painting came to me as I was moving 

through so major life changes.

I think the energy was teaching me to let

 go and trust that all that I need

will flow to me.

I don't have to seek it, strive for it or fight for it.

Just as the ocean ebbs and flows 

so do the moments and experiences

 of my life. 

Sometimes things flow in and out

gently and effortlessly. 

But sometimes I feel 

like I am drowning or

 being pulled out to sea.

During these times it is important 

for me to remember not to struggle against the current. 

It will only wear me out 

or pull me under.

It is often best to just stay afloat and conserve my energy until I move out of the current.

This is a lesson that I often struggle

with and so I often have to repeat 

it over and over again.

However each time this lesson cycles

around I am able to wake up quicker

and I struggle less.

I think the ocean is a good reminder

of how life ebbs and flows

whether I work with it or against it.

 I am learning that the 'ocean of life'

is much bigger than I am, 

so it makes sense to surrender to its flow and enjoy the journey.

The Ocean of Life is filled with many 

wonders…

So why be in such a rush.

Enjoy each moment

and

let your dreams set sail.
