we ran to drop off the rent and went right to 57th st beach and it was empty even of gulls. we found a flying squirrel dog toy and flew it out for bear and she swam farther out with me. it's a big thing trusting someone in the water at this young age and i feel grateful and we go gently. she's still relieved to get back to land and roll in the grass. we get awake from the water and then the air and sun feel good on our skin. we feel good together and that right there makes the world good.
