I took a dip in the lake today. More like moving from the sauna to the hot tub, given the heat. Temperature predicament aside, it was refreshing, even if came about from the mere act. I was reminded of a funny conversation my brother and I had there earlier in the summer. We humans always think about how wonderful and liberating the ability to fly would be. The weightlessness! But what if we weighed very little, with a great surface area, or what if another organism were conscious with similar characteristics. Would they not look longingly at us humans, with our amazing ability to swim under water. The weightfulness! The grass is always greener on the other side.
