Rain man.... woo hoo here comes the rain...

Rain is here… woo hoo what a relief… the torrential rain hit when we were returning from afternoon diving and the black heavy clouds were on horizon connecting the deep blue to deep blue as there was a little difference between ocean and sky, except the curtains of heavy rainfall in the distance. We were all came from the dive in the water below and it was funny like everyone start looking for cover from the water above… The rain hit the Koh Tao in some nice down pour where any resistance and material cover except plastic bag “what should be forbidden btw” was useless and the epic fall of water made the only option feasible and that was the swim suit i.e. swim trunks and bikini as fashion choice of the day. Kicking the Blue Thunder into life was easy and as always it has not let me down even now. Logically the Jet Ski or canoe would be better option  but I love challenge and also summer rain so when the up road turned in down river, I took that as the opportunity for swimming i.e riding the Blue Thunder against the current in ankle deep water flowing down the street like in some rapid of wild river. Woo Hoo I felt alive first time in long time, feeling rain on my skin and water flowing through my toes on the bike steps holding the flip flops only by sheer will. Ahhh what a feeling ……Alive again…Nature make me feel alive and recharging my batteries, be it hiking, scuba diving or just summer storm. Rode the Blue Thunder to the Hostel through nearly empty streets in my swim shorts with dry bags slung over my back “thank God for this invention” and helmet on as safety is safety “ just in case hailstone or frogs will fall from the sky” and realized that even in such hot place as Thailand the summer down pour could be very cold after few minutes continuous pounding on your body. Got to the hostel and saw the rain pouring down the steel roof made everyone just staying inside with their friend and best buddies “I mean mobile phones of course” God help us if someone talk to real person out loud. It is funny that even when you are thinking of some remote island where people come to discover tranquility and peace the modern communication rules and the mobile phones are embedded into the society. Thank to the rain the sitting in was also opportunity for nice warm shower and snooze listening to the soothing sound of falling rain “amazing how the rain is soothing but shower irritating…. Maybe because of the water bill at the end of the month”  I had fell asleep and had some dream, which I could not remember now “ahhh those memory enhancing pills, where did I put them..?”  The assistance on Rescue course was at the end and apparently we were invited for dinner with instructor Sophie by her clients and therefore I had put one shirt and get to the restaurant even if I really did not feel like it “jeysus I did something I did not really want” and the food was lovely but I cannot shake off the feeling that I was not invited. However we tried to keep conversation flowing and maybe it was just my feeling but the conversation was addressed only to Sophie and therefore I thought that next time I will go with my feeling and decline such future invitation if I feel like I’m not invited. Ohh yes I meant to writhe that this is second time I felt such feeling but at first time I backed off i.e followed the intuition. One of the earlier days of diving I went to morning boat as usual but this time I felt electrifying buzz or energy in the air as if you sense something but you not sure what it is but if feels good and exhilarating but trying to figure out what the heck is this anomaly “without ringing for Murder & Scully” and as I scanned the port I saw this person’s back and my focus was suddenly sharp as all other sounds and visual dropped to the background and I felt this pull. Hmm felt relatively good and at same time a bit curious as I still had not figure out what it was but one thing was for sure, that it was human who acted as magnet. Then I hopped to the boat through the tires and few boats “ I think that there are the shows where contestants do such a thing” but this is real routine of getting on the board of diving boat. From the start you are tend to be cautious and wish that you have few more arms like octopus to get a good grip on your way from the land to boat but with time you barely notice anything and hopping like a mountain goat from the boat to the boat. So….as I’ve got to the boat I felt that this magnet is there and I could not resist to turn my head and saw her as obviously it was a girl. What a good feeling I have not felt in long time and then as we set our equipment came the schedule check and we met face to face and start talking some gibberish I would assume but God help me, she smiled and laughed a bit and I got lost in those green eyes, second time in my life, green eyes and laugh beautiful as morning dew with touch of sunrays shimmering through the water drop makes the green leaf tremble made me tremble. Such is life, you never know what is around the corner and also how the things could turn as next day I’ve got such cold icy greeting that it would make a fecking salt water froze into lollipop and I realized that maybe I was wrong and therefore I need to pay attention to any energetic anomalies around me as maybe it is just spot on the Sun or maybe just need to take things as they are and not to try make something in my mind. Well twice I had such encounter here at the sunny warm paradise island and now I want to Scuba Dive more and more as when you are down there in the Big Blue the weightless feeling and slowness of any motions is best relax and you can observe all the beauty we now nearly nothing about and be in awe as all is working well with it is own life path without direct interaction of Homo Sapiens as much as we are sometimes thinking that we are in driving seat of the third rock from the sun. However we are indirectly in driving seat of the kamikaze machine with our plastic, oil spills and other development polluting our Ocean and planet in the name of progress. Well, progress maybe it is but where are we progressing no one knows as we are seems to chase the dream and with that chase creating living nightmare.  Rain has stopped and the streets are fresh, air clear and crispy a bit, more less humid than crispy but the word crispy sounds refreshing if outside is around 30 degrees Celsia. Ahh another day another rainy storm with lighting and water creating rivers from the roads and paths and life once more again is under control of mother nature. So far so good as he visibility was good at morning dive and I enjoyed the slow motion move around the dive site, trying to increasing the dive time by exercise slow breathing to reduce air consumption so I could observe and meditate there. Well all good things has to come to end and we had to surface as well as I need to go to bed now. What a nice day and refreshing time spent with friends dinning and talking “jaysus I must bore their ears off” hope they have some medication at home so they can get sleep and not having nightmare of me talking “noooooooooooooooo not him again :-D “

Ahh yep day is long and this article short but here we go, tomorrow “feck, actually today” is another day, so another time to type.
