Conversing with Water - Alli Harper
Conversing with Water
Alli Harper
When I began swimming during the lockdown, I never realized the extent to which it would change my connection to the earth. For the first time, I keenly observed the weather patterns moving over the sky above my head. I wondered at the migratory birds in the air, the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, tangibly manifested in the changing tide, the tug of the ocean's currents and the abundant life beneath the water. Suddenly the world expanded into something so much bigger, more important and precious.
