water baby i am.

the past times i went swimming i've been going in the evening. today i went to the pool in the morning. the ten o clock sun rays made the water look so good. i really imagined myself in one of those post card teal waters of maldives with the translucency of the water very clear but dreamy. i got high.

i haven't been running since school started. next week is the holiday week, i'm going to start running again, discover what it was that made me love running. the endorphins swimming gives you is a different kind. it's very calming to just do the crawl, the silence streaming past your ears, things happening in your head tinged with a kind of holiday laziness. the fact that everybody is enjoying the water but floating peacefully about in the pool, is rather surreal. many old aunties swim at the pool too. i feel connected with everyone who goes swimming there, it's got a 70s vibe where everyone cares about nothing but that feeling of the water, the fullness of the light filling the pool.

i could swim forever. in fact i look foward to swimming again. if ididn't have crit, i honestly would go swimming again later in the evening.
