Swimmers

Tonight I swam. First I dipped into a warm jacuzzi, with heat bubbling against the unusual Los Angeles April chill. We were on the marina, my friend and I, belly laughing under the stars and observing the docked boats twinkle. A bottle of wine illegaly sitting poolside, this was fun.

We cranked the sauna prior to dipping- always a brilliant idea. With one swim race won by me and numerous masterful dives by both, we kicked it. Conversation to laughter back to conversation to dares. Nothing compares to fun girlfriends. First off, friends are found in many corners yet the ones who win the prize must have something sparkly inside- something lively- right? Or is it the common readiness to be guardless, frontless, hilarious?

Days, hours, moments- all have become driven and twisted in daily life. To release the pressure feels like cotton candy on my tongue. I like it but I dont- the grittyness of time, plans and responsibility taste odd yet the sweetness of freedom, fun, and embracing the inner dork creates subtle bliss.

All this becase I swam? ;)
