OMG, Immersion Delight

Miraculous! The old, sacred swimming hole has re-emerged, the one that vanished three years ago when the river changed course. It’s bordered by private property, and there’s NO dog doo to rant about. It’s deeper than before, way over my head. The riparian landscape of familiar banks, swaying grasses and cottonwoods and wildflowers, chirping birds and jumping fish, and glad slants of sun—even at 5:30 p.m.—has everything down to my soul glittering. Immersed with my dear friend, who is dying. We are electric in this moment, humbled and refreshed, in the swimming hole that’s party to all our secrets—twenty-two years of shared traumas and joys and luxuriating. Paradise.
Palms together, I bow to the water. And love my sister.
Palms together, I bow to the water. And love my sister.
