Join me for a Swim Tonight!?

Now that I have returned from my mental jaunt possibly induced by the half a cup of coffee that sits at the table surface at a restaraunt I looked down into the slightly stirred contents still steaming as I sit motionless and reflective of every sip. I notice the wet pavement and leaves trembling in a gust as fresh signs of an unexpected rain fall as precipitous specs of rain strike the surface of the windowpaine outside serve as a reminder of the many rains of goodness awash upon my soul affecting berings as the tattered sails of my purpose are continually turned around upon the sand bar so that I can face the mighty ocean reservoir of the limitless; as the tide carries me back to sail each time in a streamline direction to a sea of plenty. Every need rises with a surface splash carrying in its wake what is plenteous and gathered from the great depths,tasty in the saltwater spit that sprays. The wave of water cascades in a downward slope upon the hull of this curious vessel that we call the heart, that is prone to drift off course without more divine swells to alter direction;and many more ships are capsized in changing tides that remain unpredictable. Amidst crashing waves and having nothing to hold on to; not even broken planks of your vessel are worth reaching for. This is the baptism of your soul in the reservoir of God's prescence. Allow your spirit to be submerged,and wade out into the gentle waters. Headed straight for the bottom only to be renewed and emerge exactly as God created you to be.
