And you keep going

If you swim 
a little bit below 
the crazy waves 

And keep going 
Despite the disgusting feeling 
of the seaweed touching your skin

And you go beyond the sunken ship
full of memories, 
alien and of your own 

And you pass, even with fear
the abyssal fish

You will find a bunch of treasures

Take them,
You won’t lose them

They are yours 
They have always been
And they will ever be 

Y sigues

Si nadas un poco más,
debajo de las movidas olas

Y sigues 
a pesar de la desagradable sensación de las algas acariciando tu piel 

Y vas más allá del barco hundido, 
lleno de memorias tuyas y ajenas 

Y pasas, aún con miedo 
el pez abisal 

Encontrarás tesoros, 
Tómalos
Son tuyos,
siempre lo fueron 
Y siempre lo serán

This poem was written by Argentinian artist and Further Emergence team member, Macarena Asensio, who has been joining the meditations since the lockdowns. She wrote this poem after talking with a friend who was afraid of trying meditation.
