“No human being, however great or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.” John Ruskin
The Question The question formed in my mind, do fish ever swim backwards, but I guessed it to be true enough, for what can go forwards can surely go backwards, humans do it so well, and a new question formed, do the scales of a fish prise open as they swim backwards? And I wondered, naturally, how this might feel. Copyright 2022 ©Paul Vincent Cannon All Rights Reserved ®️

I could believe it. I keep an open mind when it comes to the natural world. There is much I don’t know.
