The lake seemed even more beautiful than usual this morning, with pale diffused sunlight shimmering off pearlescent water, giving a general effect like the pure white light I imagine in meditation. Up close and personal, it's still a beach, with a necklace of green scum along the shoreline and a wall of stink you had to pass through to get to the water. Coming out from the water, you had to dodge something amorphous buried in the sand that appeared to be both smelly and dead. Numerous people went skin, others opted for their most minimal wetsuits. 

Most went to the Cute Chairs, some to Three Piers. I went to the Little Beach in between. I could see the Three Piers, but thought if I went all the way there, I would not enjoy the trip back so much, and I really wanted to enjoy. It felt a bit colder than yesterday, with the rain, and yesterday I got cold, especially getting out and finding my stuff kind of wet, which is why I am not one of the swim-in-the-rain fans. I'll do it, but I don't seek it out!
