Rite of The Deep Water People
Immersion.
Enter, stay past the gasp, come out changed by two degrees.
⏱ weekly — or whenever the land gets loud◌ anyone near wild water
Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this rite is held
Enter wild water — sea, lake, river — and stay past the gasp reflex, attention on what is actually happening. Leave before pride sets the schedule. Members surface, by report, two degrees colder and considerably more honest.
From the sources — the passages this rests on; concise renderings, cited
Stay past the gasp. Leave before the pride.
