magic. i don't know if you know swedish, but i came to think of this song that i love, when i saw your post:
Du lindar av olvon en midsommarkrans och hänger den om ditt hår. Du skrattar åt mångubbens benvita glans, som högt över tallen står. I natt skall du dansa vid Svartrama tjärn i långdans, i språngdans på glödande järn. I natt är du bjuden av dimman till dans, där Ull-Stina, Kull-Lina går.
Nu tager du månen från Blåbergets kam att ge dig en glorias sken. Och ynglet som avlas i gölarnas slam blir fålar på flygande ben. Nu far du till Mosslinda, Mosslunda mor, där Ull-Stina, Kull-Lina, Gull-Fina bor. I natt skall du somna vid Svartrama damm där natten och mossan är len.
This is such a refreshing post about swimming at night in the land of midnight sun, thankyou! love your robe and the still water and the overwhelming stillness.

Oh, so lovely! The trees and the lake and the trees in the lake.
ReplyDeleteI used to spend every summer by a lake, swimming constantly. I live beside the North Sea now, which is wonderful too, but quite different.
Wishing you many happy nighttime swims. And lots of floating and looking up up up at the sky.

ReplyDeletea beautiful reminder of the wonderful things in life. I love your dress too.
