(I somehow lost my post in the middle of reviewing it--sorry if this ends up posted twice! Now let's see if I can remember what I wrote.)
I was talking with a friend about swimming and she said she started "swimming for life" x number of years ago. I got the sense that she meant that it was more than a good workout--it kept her "alive." I have to admit that it has that kind of effect for me, too. At the risk of sounding too new-agey, it's nourishing in more than a physical sense.
What does swimming mean to you? How does that compare to other sports or activities you do? How does that meaning influence your goals and performance?

What once was so red hot
Seems to have lost most of it's steam
The Poetry we once sought
Has lost some of it's gleam
Will it ever come back?
Or was it just a passing fad?
Does anyone still have the knack
To revive it, if just a tad?
Maybe it's time to let go now
Perhaps we've rhymed ourselves all out?
There is no more ground to plow
There is nothing more to tout?
Well it was fun for a while
To see such creative inspiration!
Such cleverness and guile
Y'all have earned my admiration!
