photo : Matai River, Sunday hole, it is sometimes possible to swim there (when the water quality allows), when it is, the experience is invigorating.

For a long time, my shoulders  felt the  weight of past events and decisions, before  I realised that if the past cannot be changed, the narrative surrounding it  can make the load   a lot lighter.
