I’d like to cast another vote for “sneaking past the think-y brain.” Swimming IS quiet and sneaky. And you can bring your dog sometimes. As a career coach for dogs, I approve of this line of imaginary work.

And I think (whoa, there’s that word again) that you really hit on something when you talked about the incompleteness of the image. That happens a lot, with feelings and intuitions and thoughts. We get something, a hit, a hunch, sometimes even a big blast of clarity, and we think That’s The Whole Thing. And we believe that we have to deal with The Whole Thing as a complete package (which might include getting freaked out by it or making a Big Decision or otherwise taking action), instead of maybe asking “what else do I see here? What else might I want to notice?”

So I loved that you explored the metaphor and noticed the concrete walls, and the violence of diving, neither of which had surfaced (HA!) in the original discussion.

And from one fake diver to another (my fake occupation was a scuba salvage diver — surely there’s a blog post in there somewhere), it was awesome swimming with you!
