Touching the Water

Lately I've been overstressed at work, but I took off early the other day. I was just going to have lunch somewhere, but I turned left instead of right and I found myself heading to Walden.

It had been more than a month since I touched the water.  And even thought I had been driving by on a regular basis, I felt like it wasn't enough.  And I felt it in my body.

But just being able to go down, and to see Mike R there, in his wetsuit, in the 34 degree water, and the water looking friendly with sunlight, I felt calmed and taken to a familiar place which in my business mind, i had forgotten.  It is too easy to get distracted by this world, with all the details and anxieties calling out to you.

But go and touch the water. And SWIM if you dare!!!
