"Canon ball SPLASH!" I screamed clenching my knees to my chest. I made my way to the bottom of the pool. I sat. It was as if time stood still, no sound, no movement other that my own. I watched the shiny shimmer of the sun's reflection on the bottom of the pool. It was a pattern of squiggly lines that moved in different directions. Water is a time stopper. The only thing that makes a sound, or moves is you. I went up for air and as soon as my ears came up from the water, I was struck with the sound of screaming babies, shooting, wining, and movement. So I went back down. Down, to my happy place, down to be one with nature.
