My Pisces Heart: A Black Immigrant's Search for Home Across Four Continents

“But there’s a kind of offering in the generosity of water holding you afloat. In the way water holds feeling, how the body is most alive submerged and enveloped, there is the fullness of grace given freely.”
― Turning: Lessons from Swimming Berlin's Lakes
― Turning: Lessons from Swimming Berlin's Lakes
“I think of what the lakes meant to me then and what they mean to me now. In the middle of the lake, I'm completely present. I'm no longer afraid to be alone. I've conditioned myself to the lake, to the cold, to the pain of it. I can hold it. I've made it mine.”

“There’s a famous saying18 that what we call tea in a language depends entirely on the workings of trade during the period of empire: “‘Tea’ if by sea, ‘cha’ if by land.” If your culture first received tea via trade routes by sea from Fujian in the south of China, your language likely calls it something like the Min Nan (Hokkien) word “te”: thé, Tee, tea. If trade over land brought you tea, you likely call it something like the standard Mandarin 茶 (chá): chai, shay, cha. The very notion of movement, of trade and empire, is written into this plant and how we describe it.”
