Kelp Goddess~ Sea of Grace

A goddess from the sea am I..... 
Today the water was rough and sharky looking. The sea called me home, dusk was upon me but I had to jump in... but then I saw my fins looking anxiously up at me, and my mask and snorkel yearning for a salt water dip as much as I so I grabbed them thinking, I will jump in ...and quickly out. 
But the water is my home..and as the waves crashed upon the rocks, she lifted me into her waters and my feet quickly became fins. 
At first I was apprehensive, it looked dangerous to swim alone. But as soon as I donned my mask, the underwater aquarium, my inner truth suddenly matched my outer reality. I was HOME. 
The kelp forests swish in sync with my swaying body as I glided through the smokey dusky waters... the fish surrendered the the rushing tide.  I had to give in and let it take me or I would helplessly struggle against a thrashing sea. Surrender. Surrender. Surrender. The Kelp Goddess does not fight the flow.. She gives into the pull. She feels her inner tides merge with the outer tides and becomes ONE. 
How can we be At-One-ment with ourSelves if we fight the tides?
I love the play on words that atonement and 'at-one-ment' suggest. In a way atonement for me means, atune-ment, align-ment, becoming One with Everything. A Kelp Goddess is not separate from herSelf, she is not separate from anything. When we give into the forces of nature, our atoms dance wildly in ecstatic fusion desiring to make more of themSelves. There is an excitement for the cosmic intelligent energy to run through our veins, and run rampant with creativity. 
There is a place in nature where you feel this way... So what is your Kelp sanctuary? What part of nature makes your cells ignite and burn like molten lava so there is nothing your mind can hold on to-- but to just let go-- give in -- and be taken?
Have you no idea what I speak of? If nature has lost its luster, you have gotten caught up in a life that has lost it's Divinity. The very essence of Divinity is overflowing in the alive-ness of the nature the abounds around you. If nature has become a stale back drop, you have gotten stuck in the mud of the mind. 
Breath will set you free. Your breath of Life is electricity waiting to make love to you in your body. When your breath becomes sacred, the air around you feels alive. It can't wait to enter into your body's cosmos and procreate a new YOU. It sounds sexual, yes? Nature, breath, my cells in some kind of promiscuous activity-- a seemingly bland mixology. There is nothing bland about pure life force. It is bursting out your seams when it is fed with your inhalations of the intention to invite the Divine into your Body, and exhale that perfect Glow out into the world around you. Use your breath magnetized with intentionalized love to ignite the co-creative fires of your Essential Self that seeks to know you through the physical realms. Allow nature to do its part as the air around you becomes alive, as soft as velvet as you drink in its sweet nectar into the cells of your body. Know the sustenance of Self comes from your Breath, enlivened by nature and driven into each cell of your essence. The three become one.  
In this, you are electrically charged to create yourSelf anew. Any which way you choose. 
Create Love!
