Water

This time I thought I'd write about water. It is the most important element for me, and something I've always felt comfortable with. Water has been always there - in the land of thousand lakes you can't really avoid it. 

I think I learned to swim when I was 6. Maybe 7. When I was a kid, I lived 500 metres away from the nearest beach, and also enjoyed swimming at our summer house.

When I write really cheesy poetry, I mostly write about rain. When I'm looking for a place to relax, I want it to be by a lake or a river. 

There is nothing better than going rowing in the middle of a white summer night when it's all quiet and the water is a mirror. 

I live in a city where there's water everywhere. There's a big lake in the middle of the city (as in many cities around here). I never thought I'd miss water that much, but being abroad where all the water was either the vast sea in the coast or rivers in the inland made me think that I really want to be close to this "tame" water. Not flowing rivers or stormy seas, but lakes.
