Leap of faith...
Last night I dreamt of swimming in a kind of a small emerald green coloured water body or oasis arising from a spring. There was a group and the guide or some person was encouraging us to take a dip in the crystal clear water.
No one seemed very keen to do so. I went ahead and just peeled off my T shirt and jeans, took a deep breath, and dived into the water. Due to the presence of a hot spring the water was warm, sweet and nice. I dove down and was amazed by it's glass like clarity. There were small fish swimmng all around of different shades. Sunrays being bounced around by the small ripples on top were dancing at the bottom which was light brown and wavy. It was just me in the water alongwith the fish and I felt as if I could stay down forever without ever needing to go up to breathe.
I could feel the warm water gushing up from dark, large round vents at the bottom. The water was totally lighted up by the sunlight filtering through but the vents stood out with their dark blue ominous colour.
I felt drawn towards the vents and was captivated by their enormous size and the warm water churning out of it. I remember reading somewhere that no one knew where the water was coming from and some kind of giant turtles come out of them at some specific intervals to feed at the top. At this time I realise that I am in some Arabian country, most probably Saudi Arabia and I wonder if they ate the turtles and why don't they use this sulprus of fresh water to irrigate the land.
I wanted to explore the vents so badly but was afraid as to what will happen if I never come back. And if I dive inside will anyone know and how long will it take them to realise that I have disappeared for good. I somehow had a hunch that there is something good waiting for me on the other side.
This would be my leap of faith!
Which would be more of a dive.
