Christ Walking on the Waters, Julius Sergius von Klever, circa 1880 (via Wikimedia)

Colors are amazing, the sun around Jesus' head, so good. Like a direct connection between the two. There's a little bit of green in the waves, that part seems wet, because otherwise this could be a vision of a smoky, burning hell with those colors? idk I'm burned out so maybe that's just me. I was thinking about how culture is complex because, although it seems like it would be easily within his grasp, you're never going to see a Star Wars with Yoda walking on Water. I think someone with a glowing bank account around their head would put the ki-bosh on that. 😂 ❤️

GO DEEP TO FIND YOUR BLISS
Life can often feel chaotic. Unbalanced. Stressful.
Try and see that it is just on the surface.
Stop frantically treading water just to stay
afloat amidst the craziness.
Instead, choose to go deep.
Deep down, where the restless tides abate.
Deep within, where inner calm resides.
Where bliss can be found.

How to Turn Treading Water Into a Legit Workout

When you think of water workouts, your mind probably goes to lap swimming, water aerobics, or maybe some high-octane Navy SEAL pool drill.
