"Collective intelligence" by Dorothy Oger

On our Health Space in Cyprus last week, one of our guests created this beautiful piece. It’s the first time she’s shared her writing in public with group, and I know there will be more to come. Thank you Saema.
“The sea roared, crashed, thundered – it was calling her, the invisible force was pulling her, resist she no longer could.
Like a flying kite being reeled in by the master she made her way down to the shore. Her heart was pounding and there were whispers in her ears; words she could hardly hear.
At the water’s edge she stood intending to wet her feet, but the gentle little waves kept nudging and pulling her in. She feared the sea but knew it wouldn’t harm her. She longed to feel the embrace of the waves, but whilst her heart and mind willed her to move further out, her body held her back; till one swift push was all it took to be all consumed in the cold salty foam.
She understood then that to stand and resist made it easier to fall, but if she sat down and let the waves wash over her, then she would be lifted up.
While the waves washed over her, layer upon layer of herself were peeled away and cast adrift, till only her essence remained. Then she understood and could clearly hear the whispers; the words so silent then but now loud and clear – I AM, I AM, I AM.”
