I've always wondered how much talent goes unknown for the lack of a little courage.
Yeah, it's not easy to jump into the lake when you don't know how deep it is.
Today, instead of dipping one toe in, you dived right into the middle of the ocean, yes.
Good for you, and for us as well.

"An overgrown, thorny garden covered the outside of my heart.
There to protect me from any harm, from feeling hurt again.

Fearful of the notion, opening up will bring me pain.
But suddenly I feel the sun on my skin, to my ultimate surprise.

And the secret door to my heart is ajar and you can see inside.

Light kills the dark, the cold becomes warm.
And amongst the thorns flowers grow.

And my fears of past hurts and bad memories slowly begin to go."

Wonderful!

Enjoy your swim.
