ARC Review: Breathing Underwater

Seventeen-year-old Tess Cooper lives by three train hard, study hard, work hard. Swimming is her best chance at a college scholarship. It’s what her parents, her coaches, and even her best friend expect from her—and Tess can always deliver.Until tragedy strikes. Tess has a seizure, and her world suddenly becomes one of doctor visits, missed practices, and a summer job stuck behind a counter—not sitting high in the lifeguard chair like every year before.Instead, her spot goes to new guy Charlie. Sure, his messy hair and laid-back demeanor sends Tess’ heart racing, but this isn’t really the time. She’s got to focus on getting back in the pool—regardless of what her doctor or anyone else says.

My review:

Breathing Underwater is a slice-of-life novel with a solid disability plot focusing on epilepsy. The main character has to deal with the struggles of becoming sick right in the middle of training for Nationals for swimming, knowing that her entire life won't ever be the same again.

This book is a good book if you're looking for a well paced, not too heavy book about overcoming problems out of your control. The main character not only has to tackle her own feelings, but also those around her, some of who understand and some who don't.

BREATHING UNDER WATER: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps

Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

~ Step Twelve of the Twelve Steps

It  is a karmic law of in and out, and what  Jesus really meant when he  sent the disciples “to cast out devils, and to cure  all kinds of  diseases and sickness” (Matthew 10:1) or to “go out to the world  and proclaim the Gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:16). He knew you had to hand  the message over before you really understood it or could appreciate it  yourself.

A  person will suffocate if she just keeps  breathing in. The Jewish name  for the Holy One, literally unspeakable, is  “Yahweh,” an imitation of  the sound of breathing in and breathing out. It could  not be uttered,  only breathed. The sacred name of God reveals the deepest  pattern of  all reality—the cycle of taking in and giving back out. It is the  shape  of all creation and of God, a Trinitarian circle of indwelling and   outpouring.

Is this my life?

Hot Milk // Breathing Underwater

Anyone else near constant dreams where you can breathe under water?

It doesn't even have to be a dream about the water, but once you're in it, there's a momentary panic before you take a breath and the water cools you from the inside and you realize that you're safe and nothing can hurt you?

I've stopped flying a long time ago, but I can still dot his, at least.
