"The sun shines white against a glass current. The birds rise with bliss in their voices. In all its familiar beauty, the sight of morning is nightmarish. Years ago, she used to come here to swim in the early morning from her favorite starting point--the rock bed that jetted out across the water to where it was deep enough to dive.
She once swam during a heavy rainstorm, which did not frighten her then. She sank below the surface of the water where she felt the joyful division of two worlds taking place. The pelting rain overhead and the calm silence below became a dream world and a waking world living side by side. When the rain stopped, she was still swimming downstream. She floated on her back as gigantic silver clouds traveled with her in the same direction."
