Pool of Calm

I am coming up with a video soon that represents more of what I was trying to achieve through this image. It is mostly a sound piece that is accompanied by video. I can remember that as a child I would play a game where I would try to spend as much time under water as I could. I played this game even alone and had very little interest in competition. What I did try to achieve though was a form of adaptation. I was trying to evolve to be the first human fish species. I related the calm of how things sounded underwater to my sleep and felt as if I would be happiest if I lived in that pool of calm for the rest of my life. I remember that I had all sorts of experiments that actually worked in keeping me underwater as much as possible. one distinct logic I used that I can remember was that if you shut all your senses under water then there is less need for your body to exhaust its energy in burning oxygen. In school at the time I was learning about our respiratory system and got to know that oxygen in your body is needed to be burnt in order to move your limbs and muscles and make your body go on living. I am not sure about this since I didn't study it further, but I was pretty sure that if you close your eyes and try to limit your thoughts and your movement that it would conserve more oxygen and thus I can stay under for longer. That was probably one of my first approach to accidental meditation.
