Long ago and far away, he was at a swimming pool. In the middle of a desert town.

He was young and inexperienced with swimming pools. Did I say desert town?

Playing in the water was like paradise. He didn't understand there was a shallow end and a deep end. He was very young.

After climbing out and walking around he jumped back in.

The deep end.

He was drowning, but struggled and made it to a safe place.

He has been doing it ever since. Trusting himself and jumping in.

And struggling back to a safe place.
