Something more beautiful I thought to myself as I headed west to the place that holds part of my heart. Transformational from the physical sense of beauty that lies before me, as to one that has been such a spiritual fortune. Stunning emerald green and blue water of the big lake was before me. When preparing to enter the icy waters, I first begin a procedural breathing exercise to slow my heart beat and calm the excitement that races through my body. I watch the light. My body shakes and trembles as feelings and emotions move through. Blessed in the most beautiful things in life, I close my eyes and gently sway back and forth in the water. The spirit moves.
