Blue

She waded out into the sea and stood

the lulling waves rocked her gently comforting her

The sun warmed her

the earth held her

but yet still the tears came

Her heart was open and full of this sadness

Where it came from she did not know

How to get it to go she did not know

Next to her a woman stood

"knee deep in the blue are ye?"

"What?" she asked

"knee deep in the blue" the woman answered and slid her arm around her shoulder. "Dear one we are women, we hold within us many mysteries and many lives. We are more spiritually aware then our counter parts. Our hearts hold the hopes and dreams of ourselves and our children born and unborn. We by nature stand knee deep in the blue."

She waited for the woman to continue.

"Sometimes when we are happy and things are going well and our wings unfold and we are getting ready to fly, we step into the blue....its like a rain shower of tears that sprinkles down and washes sadness into our hearts."

"But where does it come from? It caught me out of the blue..." she paused herself mid thought, it suddenly making sense, "Out of the blue...into me....so its some cosmic sadness that I am tapping into?"

"you are tapping into you. You are healing and growing and feeling a special feeling one that most people shrugg off or medicate away. You are feeling life. That some days you step into the blue and life is so beautiful and special it takes your breath away and leaves tears in your heart. You cry tears for the times you couldn't see the gift you have and for those are not yet where you are. Your feeling the emotion of healing."

"well it s a bit unnerving" she replied, "makes me feel like something is wrong."

The woman gave her shoulder a squeeze, "you will get used to it. Soon you will recognize this feeling for what it is...peace, love and compassion all rolled up into one....soon you will learn how to let it out in the form other than tears. It will not hurt you, you just have never been this deep in the blue before." she let go and dove under the sea and swam away.

the lulling waves rocked her gently comforting her

The sun warmed her

the earth held her

but yet still the tears came

She had just thought it was sadness in her heart...know she knew

It was the blue

and it would not drag her down, but lift her up, and connect her to all that was true.
