Water has long been a symbol of life, re birthing, new changes. Yes, staying afloat in life is a challenge. I hope you do not allow any negative feedback deter your focus on finding yourself. Self introspection is a life long process. It will not come by a few visual laps about the pool. There is peace to be found from long journeys. Stay afloat, tread water lightly and you will find your destination. In Peace and Healing. Dan Williams Emery,

Mine have been about swimming. While flying makes me think of "rising above", I'm not sure about the swimming - staying afloat, or being more comfortable in your own body perhaps. My recovery *trip* has been mostly about having been raised female when I knew I was not. Thank you for putting so much of your writing up on this site. I'll probably still buy your book but what you've said here has given me new directions to work on. Emery I’m interested in in what you said about dreams of flying as symbolism in recovery.
