an earful of pool water

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2015.04.07

I was holding The Girl in an indoor pool when she grabbed my head and forcibly squirted a mouthful of water into my ear. Almost-three-year-olds!

No wonder I get sick every time I go to the pool with the kids.

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
