Meliorism is the belief that the world can improve by human effort

I can never distinguish whether if it's either excitement or nervousness that lies deep within my stomach as I attempt to concentrate on my breath before free diving. I swim my way down to the bottom; feeling the water get colder; darker and even heavier as I go deeper into a brand new world. In fact in this world I can hear everything with refined clarity, the reason being sound travels much faster in the density of water than through air. I can hear crackling noise from the fish that are chewing all around me and from every vibration there seems to be a natural symphony played underwater. I am unable to resist dancing to its tune with the water allowing my motion to flow in any orientation I so desire.

Just a quick simple thrust can lead you to new discoveries and encounters with the beings that reside down below our own world. Here you can discover remnants of the numerous shipwrecks the area is known for. You would never imagine Bermuda to be a safe haven with its reputation of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, especially since it sits upon a long extinct volcano in mid-ocean. However, the warm shallow water from the seamount surrounding the island drives predators further out which settles my mind into a peaceful state.

I come across my husband meditating in a sunken ship and I observe his tranquility, which immediately gives me this urge to disturb it. I move closer but he senses my clumsiness and moves in for a kiss as we swim in unison back to shore.

We both plop down at our camp on the renown pink sand beach and look out at the ocean’s horizon as we witness a Long Tail fly out of sight. We then wonder where his adventure will lead him as we contemplate how the nearest land is 640 miles away. Island fever begins to bury its claws into our minds on this tiny 21 square mile landmass, and that is exactly why we enjoy spending our time in the Atlantic Ocean as it opens up the small but quaint island into a large infinity pool.

Camping under the stars is serene because the temperature does not wane as the nightfall comes. I hear rustling in the trees but as the light of our fire and the night sky illuminate Bermuda’s dramatic landscape I am not frightened because Bermuda’s wildlife lacks predators unless you count cats and chickens. The crackling of the fire adds to the symphony of the tree frogs and again I am compelled to dance to their tune. I turn to my husband and say, now I understand why the locals say ‘Have a Bermudaful Day’.
