First, I love that you wrote this, "It’s not unlike that scene in karate kid, where Mr. Miyagi does the whole wax-on, wax-off thing and makes every day motions into exercises in conscious movement." That made me smile with Gex X recognition and also, a wonderful opportunity to bring the lessons from that movie into day to day life.
Speaking of water, yesterday, our pipes got to clogged that my husband and I found ourselves outside in our yard late at night with headlamps on cleaning it out. In the midst of pungent smells and sewage, I thought of the movies where the heroes keep their cool and make jokes as they are getting shot at etc. and thought to myself, they are determined to reach their goal and keep a regulated nervous system regardless of the outside circumstance which is why we are drawn to them. They have hope--
I then proceeded to make jokes the rest of the night about it and our son (who is 10) came outside and played crazy music. Sometime after midnight our water was flowing again. And we made it through. And life goes on...
Thank you for writing this post. I will be sure to find a seashell today and keep it with me.

And the poem at the beginning - eternity in an hour
Our human lives seem an hour, just a blip, and yet there is eternity in that hour.
