I love this piece so much! 67 year old self meeting 20 year old self - clearly, honestly, and with love!

I was at the beach with my mother almost three decades ago (she would have been the age I am now, 67) - I watched as she went into the water and dove under. When she emerged, I saw her younger self surrounded by water and sunshine. When I told her later on the way home, she said "That is exactly how it felt!" Thank you for your story, Jim and for bringing back this memory of my mom!

This is wonderful, thank you for sharing. I had a Colorado hot springs experience recently that illuminated that communal nudity is spiritual in a way.
