It was so wonderful today see a young boy at Lincoln Park Pool--slip out of his street bravado to enjoy the water as a child.
He rode up to the pool in his oversized shirt and street clothes and I feared the worse, but he slowly shed the "urban" street look to reveal his wild and colorful swim trunks.
He respectfully took a shower and stood there for a moment with the water running down his sleek and glistening body. Eyes closed. Tranquil. And, then the boy slowly lowered himself into the water at the edge of the pool, submerged, and reemerged. Happy, smiling. FREE. [1]
