You stand near the water’s edge. Cranes wade in the shallows. You see their long necks. You notice their slow movements. You look at the water. It is calm and quiet. You see the cranes’ reflections. You begin to color. You choose your colors slowly. You think about the cranes’ feathers. You think about the water’s texture.
