"This Joyousness and dispersion of thought before a task of some importance seems to prove that this world of ours is not such a serious affair after all." -Joseph conrad

flying fish


I remember the first time I saw a flying fish, it was sunset and we were drifting on a glassy sea off the coast of Malaysia. The sky was painted in brilliant shades of yellow, pink and blue. An oil platform standing in the distance contrasted with green mountainous coast.

Just then, as I was taking in the scene, a small fish zipped across the surface of the water.

I was shocked, and then another. It was beautiful.

The next time I saw a flying fish, it was midnight on a turbulent sea and the thing landed in my lap.
