It's not very often I meet people I like. And even then there is usually that hump of awkwardness that you have to get over before you fall in. But every now and then you meet people with whom it's really easy to do just that.
Dive in, though you know that there is definitely a bottom and you just don't know how far down it is and maybe it's not that far down at all and you may very well break your neck like so many Japanese businessmen frolicking in the Australian outback with Toni Collette.
But sometimes you hit bottom and are surprised to discover that it's soft, and then it's not so bad to sink like a stone, even as your body adjusts to the water that you never know just how cold it's going to be till you get in and it folds over your head and you can kinda see the light from the sky but the only reason you'd ever want to go back is coz the sad truth is that we can't breathe down there, and the only way to get deeper is to try and expel all of the air from your body because though you need it it will only drag you back up.
Dragged back up, and as pleasant as it is to float there's little that compares to that initial sink.
Get out. Towel off. Walk away. Come again another day.
