the meaning of dive kit

one or two transactions, a chaperoned visit, and the acquainting of one baby boy with another. the wives, too.

 

the man selling his kit was an experienced, well-dive-travelled Divemaster. The man buying the kit an amateur into his third year of the sport. We are both new fathers. in one case the baby boy was a catalyst for a decision to prune the risks from life. in the other the baby boy will fit into one's life's dreams and passions.

 

passions are hard-fought-for, but sometimes wither and waste away. we'll see.

 

and finally we walk away with plenty monogrammed dive kit. tried, trusted, and ownership transferred. it carries a blessing and the memories of many dives. i will cherish it.
