Hauntings and Musings

My haunted thoughts come at 3 AM, or 1 AM or 2 AM if I dare to drink coffee after 6 AM or eat dark chocolate late in the day. 

My worst thoughts come during the day if I have not had a chance to SWIM or scribble them away in my spittoon notebook. This is probably why I am addicted to swimming laps. It's my hydro-psychotherapy.

Keeping a rambling head-noise notebook helps too. Walking makes me smile after a short few blocks. My chemistry is transformed by motion yet I require contemplative stillness to read and write and paint. 

We are complicated creatures. 

I love teaching adults how to breathe correctly while swimming. Perhaps they too will find their ticket to ZEN land. 

Perhaps befriending the "noise" is part of finding peace.

Last night I slept so well I didn't know my name or what day it was when I woke up.
