There is sunshine but I cannot see the sun. I explore the shallows along a steep shore with caution. The current pulls at my feet. The surface is smooth but hides a strong undertow. I venture deeper, begin to leave, then return. Was it safe? I swim only a short distance before I am pulled down by strong currents, taken under and out to the sea. I lose consciousness then reawaken swimming underwater. I am dragged along the bottom, narrowly missing rocky obstacles. It’s dark, then a beautiful, spectral light gradually appears in the distance underwater. I swim towards it desperately, then all progress stops. I see myself floating, lifeless. Why am I not moving? Suddenly a powerful wave swells up and sends me onshore, crashing with great strength. Two more follow, diminishing. I lie on the beach motionless. It was not safe but have I been saved?
