distance is measured in inches, time is measured by feet. my first full day of real leisure in a while slipped through my hands like a greased eel, a week of weather in one day, carousel of sun, clouds, and rain. it cleared up just before sunset so i squeezed into my still damp and clammy wetsuit and went for a quick dip. my neighbor slavko hailed me from his backyard on the slough: "how's the water?" "good," i said, face and extremities only slightly numb. holding up my phone, i swam one-handed across to his place. he offered me a shower, a towel, and his robe. who am i to refuse old world hospitality? we drank tea and discussed the dire situation in his hometown, kyiv. |
