bike to a lake for a bath

bike 6 miles to a lake on a hot summer day, and pretend the lake is your bathtub. lay down in it. surrender completely to the stillness. tread water only to keep warm. if you let go, the water will hold you, and the water spirits will say soothing things in your ear. tell you exactly what you need to hear.

this is what i did yesterday. i almost fainted biking the way home (damn that giant hill) but that lake bath was exactly what i needed. my heart is a water creature, for sure.
