Singin' Swamp

Yesterday was Dad's Birthday and he marked it with a dip in the pond. A Baptism in Spring peeper territory, in the vessel that taught us three kids how to swim, to dive, to torpedo bravely to the scary bottom to retrieve potent anaerobic slate gray mud to smear on ourselves in mud fight or spa treatment,  to take barbies and ninja turtles on Marine Biology expeditions, to bravely release our little hands from the zip line or trapeze that dad strung across the pond for us, to swim confidently at night while star gazing, to quickly dunk into post Thanksgiving sweat lodge, to teach Gracie confidence in the water, to teach us kayaking and canoeing, to teach us a skill we all hold dear and to celebrate and relax in after weddings, dock buildings, surgeries, long days at work or school or summer break. This pond is a sacred place. I'm so grateful to be the product of both the parents and the place. #birthdayswim #baptismbynature
