It is a sunny mid north coast winter afternoon when I find myself driving along a dirt road with my boards on the roof and an unsettled heavy heart.
As the trees whiz by my mind drifts to just how perfect the surf will be when I arrive at my destination. The car buzzes along as an old tape whirs on the stereo. As I approach the ocean a few moments later I don't realise just how significant the chain of events that are about to play out today are going to be.
Today is my healing. Today my heart will open wider than it has in a long time and allow the sunshine to penetrate to the depths of my being.
I open my car door and the fresh ocean air envelops me. The sunshine warms my bones as I gaze out to the horizon melting into the turquoise of the perfect ocean as the waves dance and call me, the ocean casting me under her spell.
It has been too long since I have truly felt from a place deep within my mermaid connection to the ocean.
Surfing alone makes me slow down, unwind and be completely in the moment. As I glide along the face of each wave my hand reaches out to touch the velvet sea. I am in a state of bliss, dancing upon diamonds glistening under the warm winter sun.
As each moment passes and with each wave I catch, my heart opens more and more.
Finally, I am returned to my lover - the ocean. I am home.
