Extraordinary guest

February 14, 2011
My heart is as mysterious as an underwater cavern, and often as unfathomable. Secrets glide through like pale fish in the gloom as one navigates unexpected outcroppings. At the very bottom, silt blooms to clouds, obscures the liquid landscape, then settles again. 

For years, I kept this environment hostile to exploration—reefs damaged by careless swimmers needed time to repair. But tides shift, even when I wasn’t watching for a change in levels.

I never believed I would extend such an invitation to the depths only I know. But I never expected to find such an extraordinary guest.
