I love water

I love water. I love to sit on the shore and listen to the sound of the ocean, watch a wild stream in the mountains or Lake Zurich in Switzerland, which is now right in front of me. I like how the water is calm and unemotional on the surface, but inside there is an incredible power. It may look the same at first glance, but if you take a moment to focus and look deeper, you can see how it changes every single second.

Water has a special ability to separate you from the outside world. Even if you have a busy street at your back, just look in the right direction and all the noises will disappear.

Sit down and detach yourself from the physical world. Focus only on the water. And on yourself. Just look for a while and then close your eyes and listen. Can you feel it? Let yourself be carried away by the concert. Dive below the surface. Inside yourself. Breathe calmly. Be right here. Right now. There is no chronos time that mercilessly rushes the second hand. There is only kairos time. The one that lets everything ripen.

Open your eyes. The world around you looks the same. The cars behind you are going who knows where. A few people are taking pictures of a boat on the pier. But something has changed in you.

You are calm and unemotional on the surface, but inside there is an incredible power.
