“When can we stop swimming ? ”
“Stop swimming ? Not for a long, long time , I hope. ? ”
“You mean, we’ll keep on swimming forever ? ”
“Not forever. Nobody can live forever.
But as long as we’re alive, we’ll swim and swim , on and on.”
“Where in the world are we swimming to ? ”
“We’re not swimming to any one place.
That’s not the way we live.
We swim across. We swim through.
We swim all around the sea.”
“But how can I remember where we’ve been ?
Everything zooms by so fast.”
“Listen as you swim, and the sea will tell you where you’ve been.
The sea will tell you where you’re going , too.”
“Listen…as I swim…”
“Yes , listen , swim.
That’s the way we live. ”
