Like a Tiger
  Ryan Tommo Thompson shares his memories Jeppe Boats and Blades One With the Row By Philip Kuepper The rower raised high his powerful arms, in the still, cold morning. His breath shaped a small cloud in the air, where it hung like a word trying to speak ghost-speak. His blades broke the quiet water heavy with sleep. Water wakened, surprised at his presence. The water received him. The sureness of his strokes were a shared pleasure. There rowed elemental man with the elements, stripped of all pretense, rower and water, each coveting the blades that propelled all forward. I was watching pure motion.
