19th of July 2017 Cala Xuclar. Ibiza
Between travelling back to Ibiza and doing other duties I didn´t make a space for the exercise yet till today. I went to the rocks with a friend and while she fell asleep I sat with my legs in the water feeling the constant wave braking on me.
Initially I was sat there to feel the movement of the water and work with my automatic reaction to each moment the wave hit me, I wanted to breathe and get rid of the reaction in my body. As I was doing this I remembered my exercise and thought this was a good moment to try it again. There is a certain alertness given by contact in the sea. It must be a primitive knowledge of the force it has. I thought this alertness was interesting for the exercise.
I watched the constant movement in the sea in front of me to the horizon. I felt there was no difference between me and it. I was the mass of sea in movement. The freshness of a new moment and space was evident. Every instant is new, describing it just feels like it kills what I felt.

I then also did this out of the water, sat on a rock looking into the hill I had to my side.
As I saw detail in details, distance disappeared, dimension disappeared. Each branch or rock was the centre of a new image, giving a whole different picture, or reading. It was very easy to engage in this exercise in a natural environment.
I felt that when one stops to look at something with all ones attention in nature, it seems to open up to a smaller detailed one, then from that one the next. Un folding in a sequence that captivates ones attention like a kaleidoscope.”
