Liquid Affinity

​I’m not sure where my affinity with water started. I’m not a big swimmer, I’ve never participated in water sports and my favorite movie of all time is Jaws. Yet, when I meditate or am looking for someplace to settle my mind, I seek water. Water calms me in all its various forms. 

​Last weekend, I went with my sister to a conference and helped her work her vendor table. Located in Cape Canaveral, I had the opportunity to find the object of my stillness in various forms. 

Some are soothed by the serene calm of a lake under the sun or moon. ​Some are calmed by the rapid rushing of waterfalling over a cliff or mountainside. Some even find peace with the sounds of rolling waves crashing against each other. All of these create an ambiance that soothes me. I'm sure you can tell from the pictures I took.

​Do you have an affinity for nature? Is there some form of nature that automatically calms you and allows you to find an opportunity to reflect or even let your imagination run? What about creating a “happy place”? I’d like to hear about it.
