Hello Mojo

It's baaaack.
Got in the pool sunday afternoon, warmed up, went for a pee, came back and felt myself sliding back into the grove. Got my mojo back. Didn't want it to end.

When zen swimming, don't expect there to be a total absence of trial and challenge. There will be moments when a failed breath or a stray thought will threaten to disrupt your rhythm. But through your deep, relaxed focus and sense of form you will calmly accept the disruption and bring your body and breathing pattern back into rhythm. When an errant wave washes into your face when you go for breath, you will simply transition to another reach for breath on the very next stroke and then, when rhythm is restored, resume a bilateral breathing pattern. A sense of oneness with the water will stay with you regardless of the many distractions which will come and go like leaves blowing in the wind.
