I have been fearful of water all my life. There has been a reoccurring dream since I was 9 in which I drown. I am very frightened in the dream.

When I turned 40 a friend asked me to keep an eye on his kayaks while he was away from our island. I took one kayak out to Lago Guajataka and paddled across the lake. There came about a spiritual transformation on that water that cannot be put to words.

I have since spent many mornings hauling my kayak down to the water at 5 m so that I may see the sun rise over the mountains and watch the mist burn slowly off the lake. I have spent many hours in deep meditation, either paddling against a tropical downpour or meditating in the still waters.

I am a child of water, blessed by a dream. I still have that dream. I still drown and die. Only now my body is relaxed and at peace.

This year I am in the Pacific Northwest. I am on a paddle boat racing team. We are looking for sponsors for our team so that we may participate in all the races. I have a personal blog, Waterblogged Stories, where my time spent on the water is shared with you. Please visit my blog and leave a comment. If the site gets enough traffic, my team may be able to find a sponsor.

Thank you

for the moment we can use my addy and I will post all contributions to the site, then we will get a team name addy to connect to the team bank account as soon as we get the treasurer to get all this hooked up
I can still give donators a tax deduction recipt for the donation.
here is the paypal addy

kayak@guajataka.com

or if you want me to bill you so you can reply, that can be done as well
just tell me for how much
THANKS FOR THE GREAT IDEA!

Wow, tremendo sueño ese que con tanta exactitud logras describir. Yo me identifiqué de inmediato con tu sueño, porque casi me ahogo cuando nadaba una vez que estube en Icaco (Boriken), hacen muchos años. Ese día sentí que volvía a nacer. Aunque hay un dato que como no concuerda y es que dices que tienes 40 años y realmente luces bastante joven en las fotos tuyas que pude ver cuando yacías en el cayuco de Rolando. ¿Realmente esa es tu edad, porque de ser así te conservas bastante joven. Claro, eso es de esperar, cayukeando por ahí, compitiendo con los más duros... de mogote a mogote a ver quien llega primero. Así los ancestros nombraban esos islotes como Icaco. Carrie, ¿como cuantos años hacen que no te llaman Ciguatacará, que no te dicen Machichi?

Con todo mi respeto...
