janus

I’m on my kayak in the middle of the Caloosahatchee; the fog is so thick my bow fades into grey and I’m unable to see anything beyond the reach of my paddle. This is somewhat precarious but, in the moment, it feels like a cloud is embracing me and I’m comforted. Uncertainty, like freedom, can be terrifying. But it pulls us in, it wants us to use our own minds, it wants us to realize each other’s vulnerability. Uncertainty is a teacher. Vulnerability is a unifier. I think I feel my humanity when I’m lost in the fog.
