"That was good," he says
"Very good"
I mentally review his instructions...
Breathe
Say a prayer
Step out on the edge
Dive in
...and how I always freeze on the last.
He puts his hand on my shoulder.
"OK, you've got 3 out of 4 down,
This time you jump?"
He goes back to weaving straw mats
that he will later throw into the fire
I take a breath
Say a little prayer.
Step out on the edge
Freeze...
Below I see my own shadow on the water
I dive
Explode into the water
Water rush up my nose
I surface
Above the Guru is looking over the edge
His arms folded.
"Now what" I asked
He raises his cupped hands to his mouth.
"Swim!"
What?
Where?
Swim, … just swim.
Mini Habit: Dive!
