When my hands get tingly, and the shocks zigzag through the spaces in my brain, that is when I know, when I know I must see the great whale again. When the words directed at me don't sound quite right and I try to remember its meaning, to sound smarter than I am, that is why I leave unbalanced, feeling angry at the waterless situation before me. When my knees get disconnected from my legs and my legs wobble under the weight of me, that is where my emotion hides, laughs at my expense, and gets closer to my heart. When the breathing is not enough, I calm myself by picking at a scab, when there is nothing to pop, I imagine popping something else, a little head on top of little shoulder. When my feet move again, the water moves in every direction, moves wherever it wants, and that is when I know I am home, I am going the right way.
