Deep Dive

Hidden in the depths, 
we seek to know
the light that shines within
to the life that unfolds out.
To make whole, to make one,
we dive in, then return
with a jewel found here,
a gem unearthed there. 
Scattered on the ocean floor,
waiting to be gathered,
wanting to be brought home—
all one through love.
No longer within or without.
Simply eager to be lived.

“You can’t do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth”

– Henry Louis Mencken

”Like the sea itself, the unconscious yields an endless and self-replenishing abundance of creatures, a wealth beyond our fathoming.”

– C.G. Jung

“The greatest explorer on this earth never takes voyages as long as those of the man who descends to the depth of his heart.”
