Have you ever drowned?
Once nearly. I remember.
But I knew how to swim.
What is swimming anyway?
Staying afloat.
What happens when you are swimming with weight tied to your shoes?
You drown.
That is the truth of physics. And most things in life.
To be free, one must lose the weights on your shoes.
Maybe lose the shoes entirely
Then maybe you won’t sink
To the depths of
Davy Jones’ Locker
