The Water

I was a little scared as we went out into the middle of the lake, because I can’t swim. Once we stopped I sat on the back of the boat with my legs dangling into the water.

As we paused out there on the water I was surprised by the emotions that flooded over me. The most salient was a sense of sadness, with hues of melancholy and nostalgia, but also a deep sense of connection. It was somehow as if looking at the water I could see and sense the complete history of all living things — struggles, glories, and defeats intact.

Minutiae

  • Spent a lot of time playing Pokemon Diamond, except for my brief trip out onto the water.
