Wanderer's Day - Swimmer-Within
Today is the day of the Swimmer-Within!
They are the deity in the pantheon of the Wanderers who, some say, didn't wander; instead They lived in rivers the others followed, in the ecosystems the others wandered through, and in Their very blood.
The Swimmer-Within is the flow of all life, from its common origin billions of years go, through its endless forms most beautiful, through to the place where each individual life ends to rejoin the ecosystem around them.
On a personal level, the Swimmer is there with us through our needs for adaptation and evolution, and like pretty much all the Wanderers, they're at home in the liminal; in their case helping us plumb the mysteries of both the body and the collective unconscious. They can act as both healer and psychopomp, and are there to remind us of the connections we all share even in our diverse lives.
Hail to You, All-Surrounding Swimmer-Within!
