I love swimming. There's something so peaceful about it, sliding your way through the water. The blue giving way to your touch, no matter how gentle....and when you go underneath it all, you're so far away from the real world. Hazy views and bubbles engulf your vision, and you're caputured for a while in a gently swaying cocoon. The weightlessness is such a free feeling. You can float on your back and hide away your ears, make everything far away.

I need that time away from everything sometimes. To be able to think on my own in a totally different but familiar environment, most people do I suppose in one way or another.
