Paging through our lounge journal one day, I came across this entry left by one of our floaters. Filled with emotion as I read the passage, what a reminder of why we provide the space and service that we do.

“I have been forcing myself to stay busy. Afraid of being alone, afraid of being stuck with my own thoughts. I was running away from my past and who I was. After 10 years of military service in a combat M.O.S. it was just easier to run. Easier to move fast and not . . . think. I had no idea that for so long, I was doing it all wrong. I’ve taken my blinders off now, and I’ve decided to REALLY LIVE. Don’t think, just swim, dance, fly, climb, cry, laugh, jump, sing, love, smile, search, grow . . . and be . . .” – CLW 10NOV17
“To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water because you will sink & drown. Instead you relax and float.” – Allen Watts
