"We were atheists, really, but with the intellectual humility to call ourselves agnostics." This made me LOL.

So good, Dylan. Thanks for writing!

I love your writing. It is like a fluid, perhaps like the feeling you get from swimming in the open water.

I connect with so much of this! I’m not the swimmer I once was, but water is my favorite place to be. And where I feel most alive.

Two years ago I visited San Francisco for the first time. I was so mesmerized by the people swimming in the bay. I literally watched them for hours.

Great read Dylan! Your words captured it perfectly. Great to feel it again in words.

I love that once we enter the sea and the sting of the cold subsides, we experience serial epiphanies as we endure all the variables. Each time it’s a “marvelous” feeling.
