I was day dreaming of my late Nov. swim and this is what popped off my head.....

I put my feet in the cold water and thought for  moment I might turn back.
The call to the water was too strong and pulled me deep within its icy grip.
I closed my eyes and felt the cold consume my body as I dipped my self in the lake.
Snow on the shore showing the timeframe of my insanity.
Something deep and spiritual I felt unfolding deep inside.
I felt the negative in my life wash off of my body as I dove deeper in the water that day.I wondered did my ancestors dare go for a dip at this time of year.
I could almost feel them  paddling along the lake next to me.
The cleansing  was a deep spiritual experience something that will hold me through out the year.
Something draws  me in…. Is the childhood memories of swimming with my family .. growing up on the lake..
Or was it the deep  connection I hold sacred to my native roots that I hold deep within my heart.
I wonder are my beliefs… the beliefs of my ancestors past.
I close my eyes now and daydream of that cold snowy day that I was drawn deep with the lake.
I can almost feel the icy grip the lake holds on my soul.

Until one has dove into the icy lake they can not truly feel the refreshing spiritual connection
I hold sacred and close to my heart……
