we have our patterns

we have our habits

we like to challenge ourselves

but there is movement

imagine swimming a set number

of lengths in a pool

and going for a time record

but unknown to you…

there is slow movement

the length of the pool can be changed

by sliding a divider to even

make 2 pools out of one

not looking up it takes a while

to recognize the game is up

you can’t win it

there is the gift

when movement creates change

we can change to acceptance

drop our personal goals

and simply enjoy

the fun of swimming
