Untitled - September 11, 2004 Stroke for stroke, beat for beat, skimming across the smooth surface to a drumming only heard inside. Barely rippling through the waters it's a spirited race made with effortless grace. It's the silent counts that measure the moments separating start from finish and the joys in between. It's the euphoria that drives every stroke and every breath; it's a silent battle to the finish where exhaustion gives way to relief.
