Portrait of a morning swim with Lupe

Morning swims in Copenhagen

I owe it to her, my addiction for swimming in the cold water. It’s one of the greatest gifts I got from her and Copenhagen. If you’ve never done it before it’s probably hard to understand, although if you know you know.

The ice-cold water almost burns my skin
taking all my breath away for a second
but then - it calms me down
the world around me fades away
now is all that matters

The cold turns into a warm blanket
and my breath comes back with fresh air
turning negative energy into positive

Ready for a new start
