Elise
I have been cold dipping for a year, drawn to water my entire life. It began
out of necessity, my body calling for it, demanding it.
Water is the antidote to disengagement for me; It expands my sense
of self, sense of community, and awakens me to the profound world,
that is nature.
Haiku . . .
Deep, dark, cold water
Eyes wide open, skin pricked
Curse with joy, heart full
