Remember

I approach silently
Choose to smile or keep a neutral face
Reach first one arm; no, reach the other

Remember to use left and right equally

I approach silently, touching foot to floor with precision
Choose the next action with full presence to the moment
Dip toes into the water first or is it quieter to dive in head first?

Remember to release all resistance to surface tension

I approach allowing soft footfall, simple sounds of movement and rush
I choose what I believe, every detail of life is a choice, so
Heart will enter first, break the surface tension so that voice can follow

Remember to soften into the cold water’s touch

The brain cannot tell the difference between memory and experience
His breath upon my cheek, "I think to myself what a wonderful world”
The performer singing through his tears, I see your faces, your hands

Remember gravity and then promptly forget about it
