Under Water

Been swimming a lot lately and my son's just learned to dive for rubber rings under water — one of my favorite things to do — we've been diving and crashing and splashing and having a lot of fun.

In the water the other day, swimming alone, paddling a slow breast stroke up one of the lap lanes, I was thinking how all my fellow bloggers were becoming people I carry around in my head, a bit like characters in a book you're reading, even when you put it down, they inhabit your world, like real people.

Just gotten some cool new bright blue tinted swim goggles and as I watch the graceful movements of half-submerged people, I wonder what's real and what's not, what's above the surface, what's below, who's to say my blogger world is a more or less real one to inhabit. Splish, splash.
