Watercolor
“The water
was tripping over itself, splashing and hypnotizing, and I tried to fix my mind
on a chunk of it, like each little ripple was a life that began far away in a
high mountain source and had travelled miles pushing forward until it arrived
at this spot before my eyes, and now without hesitation that water-life was
hurling itself over the cliff. I wanted my body in all that swiftness; I wanted
to feel the slip and pull of the currents and be dashed and pummeled on the
rocks below . . .”
― Justin Torres, We the Animals
