Floating in the Lily Pond.
The smallest amount of time immersed in a lily pond will generate that floating feeling. The lily pads appear to float like clouds.
The flowers float on their own and are only kept bound to the pond by a slender stem like a balloon that strives for the sky.
Reflections only further the floating response and the sky hovers on top of the water as if part of the pond. Leaves lay on top of the water, refusing to join the pond just yet, caught between open sky and the irresistible pull of the water.
Further out there are no fleshy stems to be seen just the endless hover of green pads suggesting a floating walkway of clouds to the other side. The floating world of the lily pond, like so many ideas and feelings that are real and imagined.
To sit and watch all the worlds and ways of lily ponds never gets old. You can feel yourself slipping into the micro worlds and becoming one with the pond. Your dragon fly mind skims in across the reflections, hovers across the pads and eventually buzzes along the flower hotspots.
It is then that your attention finds the bank of sunlight further out in the deeper channels. And further still, across the reflections into the far side of the Lily Pond. For a moment, maybe minutes, you have travelled through the worlds of the Lily Pond like those that spend their lives in this idle water world of flowers, lily pads, shimmers and reflections.
