The boat ride there and back was cool although I could only feel my mind fade into distance dark places as I watched the water breath and flow into vivid life before my eyes. Her wild waves seemed to only find outwardly peace but vicious unsettledness when she’s close. I remember understanding just how all those myths about gods and the earth came about. I remember loving the idea of ignoring the pure science of the world, if only for a moment and replacing it with magic.
Beside the pure childish fantasy of mine during this trip I also had a lot of fun. My friend’s laughter penetrated my daydreaming silence and I would be pulled back into the purity of fun that was radiating around us all. While swimming I got cut by the coral, which I never expected to be sharp (silly me). The scar wasn’t really pretty either so I spent a good amount of time contemplating what kind of story I can conjure up that makes the scar a little cooler. Maybe I was attacked by a shark? A barracuda? A really angry midget fish maybe? Anything has to be cooler than the sadly pathetic truth of getting into a fight with coral and losing. I also discovered salt water is gross and hurts when you accidently swallow it, ok I knew that but I was unfortunately and curly reminded of it.
Overall it was one of best moments of my life.
