Recently I was on vacation in Hawaii with my husband and had a mystical experience while paddleboarding. It was a very moving experience that really can’t be described in words, but alas, I will try, since I feel compelled to capture it, so it is never forgotten.
When we go on beach vacations, we normally don’t focus on doing many activities. A few short excursions into the water is normally enough to satisfy my longing, since I am not a good swimmer. I have fantasies of being a mermaid and effortlessly existing in the ocean, but whenever I do actually enter the ocean, my human body reminds me that it is not quite as in harmony with my spirit as I’d imagined.
Except on this day, this time I did something in the ocean, something changed.
When I first set out on the paddleboard I was nervous, standing unsteadily on the board, as I began to paddle out into the ocean I found myself beginning to gently sing to myself. I was quite surprised actually because I rarely sing out loud, whistle or anything like that.
A song came to me, that I had never heard before, but I knew it and could not escape it.
The words were not in English, they were a different language. It sounded ancient, mystical, like a story was being told.
I sang this song to myself the entire 90 or so minutes I paddleboarded around the ocean. I never feel off the board, in fact, I had an uncharacteristic calm, steadiness and pervasive sense of peace that I’d never experienced before.
The pivotal point for me was when I had made it as far as I would go away from the shoreline, and turned to look back at the island of Maui.
The sight was so beautiful, it nearly took my breathe away.
I realized the song I was signing was light language.
Looking at the sunlight dancing on the water, I suddenly realized that every single sparkle of light was a spirit, surrounding me.
I was overwhelmed with a feeling of joy, bliss, peace and comfort I can scarcely explain with human language.
Tears filled my eyes as I realized the visitation, the communing, the oneness I was experiencing.
I felt so grateful, so guided, and so blessed.
Weeks later the song returned to me one morning and I grabbed my phone and recorded it.
Maybe someday I will share it with the world.
Please share and comment, I would love to hear it!
