| Ultimate Connectivity:
swimming with the fishes Janet Kuypers 10/9/16 Already in my wet suit, I sat in the back seat of a car, itching to get into the water. The water at this bay in Oahu was amazingly blue, and all I wanted was to get into that water and swim with the fishes. And as soon as we got there, they warned me not to cross that coral reef in the water where the currents could take me out too far into the deep. So I nodded my head and went straight to the shore, and not too far in I swam to a school of bright blue dinner plate sized fish with bright yellow fins. And so I followed the fish, and after the fact they told me that the first thing I did when I got in that water was that I swam right past that coral reef in the water. Oh, I’m sorry, I was just swimming with the fishes, and on this day the current didn’t take me away... Because the only thing that would take me away was not the current, but the vibrant fish that let me share their space with them. I wasn’t there to invade their space, I was just there to swim with beautiful creatures and commune in a part of the world so few people could ever have the change to enjoy. So yeah, I’ll cross that line, I’ll do it again, just to swim with the fishes and connect with any life form I could possibly find. |
