I have always wondered if life isn't really a cruel endless swimming marathon where some contestants drown. Born of middle class Midwestern parents, I had every opportunity at success whatever that is. Yet even before biochemistry would rear its ugly head, I somehow had developed a sadness, a self-doubt, a dysthymia that made living seem more like labor than the effortless grace others appeared to have. Oh sure, I've experienced pleasure, even joy, but these are infrequent spouts from the blowhole - most of the time I lumber about the cold dark ocean envious of those basking in the bright blue light above.
