Every year I have a personal ritual that must be fulfilled during the summer.

I have to run and jump into the waves of the ocean, and float and swim and splash around for as long as possible.

I did that today.

I feel refreshed, renewed and alive.

When I'm in the ocean, I feel connected to something much larger than myself, yet also inside of myself. 

Even the blue sky above seems to blend with the oceanic love.

Thank you, water.
