Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Pugh describes a relationship with water that never tips fully into recklessness. His affection for it stays grounded because he keeps its dangers firmly in view rather than romanticizing them away. It's a statement about holding two things at once: genuine love and clear-eyed respect for risk.
