Coney Island in October...
The air was cold... the ocean colder... I had my hat on and wished I was wearing gloves, but the wind nor the water phased Paul who just finished a swim... he didn't quiver, grimace or dry off... just got changed and left on his bike... He said it wasn't bad after the first step in the water... He's a cool guy and I trusted his opinion...
For several minutes I stared at the ocean... Intensely squinting my eyes... slowly broadening my shoulders... firmly clenching my fists... pushing out my chest... breathing quickly deeply... getting my blood up... "Just charge in! I'm going!" I said to myself as I threw down the camera bag! ripped off my coat! Kicked off my shoes! Pulled off my pants! Took a determined step then another... the ocean was there and I was on my way in!
A fierce cold gust of wind smacked against my face sending shimmers through my body and I said to myself, "Maybe tomorrow?"
...but as I walked away I gave the ocean a sharp over the shoulder glance to remind it... I will see it again... probably on a warmer day...
