Yet even in those first, nightmarish days when I was living in a fog of despair, I felt a primitive need to get in the water, to swim, to lose myself in the river and the sea ... Swimming was a comfort, a balm, a point of absence, and yet at the same time a point of connection to life itself, and back to Felix".
