Cold plunging in a lake might be stretching the nature walk theme, but I couldn’t pass up writing about this experience. Try it sometime, hot tub to cold lake. Enjoy the poem.
Cold Plunge
Initial shock
Still and patient
Intimate with raindrop circles
Feel subtle water movement
Float suspended
Quiet of the peuter lake
Lungs release stress
Wave of calm
Mind follows body
Minutes pass
Immersed in peaceful
One with loon and otter.
Stand up shock of cold air
run to towel wrap.
Energized for the day.
