  2. something I would like to do at this moment in time, having climbed up a hill in the heat. There's something calming about this, something that extends to the unending rhythms of life and I think I'll stop now before I get too pretentious.

  4. Interesting point of view: the reflection is part of the watching, not of the water itself. Like it very much, especially the Gaelic one: "bodach" and "heavin" are wonderful words.

    Best wishes
