In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things have come to represent, in fact, what I call and love.
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did the water. Any kind of ride seemed to give him pleasure. he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being the water, moving through it, it all around me. I was not a strong , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my fathers’ office and those summer days with my father, who come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the person not in swimsuit.
After swimming, I would go his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his . But my father always and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s .” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get an ice cream...
A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is .”And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but , in that childhood, looks at us.
