Her delicate bare feet sank into the wet sand as she walked along the shore of the lake. With each step she took, the lake water slowly crawled up the slope of the shore, desperately trying to reach her.
She finally took small steps into the lake, creating ripples which seemed to go on forever. She went deeper and deeper, until her head was completely submerged. At that point she took the liberty to swim. This required no effort, but that of her mind which became part of the lake and gave her the power to glide through the icy cold water.
As she reached the bottom, the plants made way for her to pass. She spun around, spreading her arms with joy, something she had not felt in a long time. She gently touched the bottom, and began floating to the surface. Slowly, without disturbing the placid waters, her entire body came out of the water. Soon, she was walking on water, her clothes and hair dry as if she had never gone swimming.
She raised her head and looked at the clouds, then closed her eyes and began dancing. Her delicate feet barely touched the surface of the water, as she let her joy fill her heart. She then opened her eyes again. "they will be looking for me" she thought. She slowly made her way to shore and walked off with a feeling of satisfaction.
