Reflections

I made it kayaking Thursday. The water at times was like a mirror, providing a second view of the world. It was disorienting at times in a beautiful.

The most dizzying disorientingly wonderful experience I have had with this effect was sailing down the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the Fortuna. It was around sunset and I looked down into the sepia water and thought I saw all these big rocks below the surface. I watched apprehensively over the side, marveling at how close they seemed. At some point I realized that there were no rocks, just the reflection of the puffy clouds overhead.
