Heisig story:

The primitive to the left, you will recall from Frame 137, represents water. To the right, we see the kanji for eternity. Knowing how much children like swimming, what could be a better image of eternal bliss than an endless expanse of water to swim in without a care in the world?

Koohii stories:

1) [Ameyama] 18-3-2008(163): If you don't know how to swim, you'll be in that water for eternity.

2) [zazen666] 18-8-2007(72): With that much WATER (2 actually) you would need to swim for an ETERNITY.

3) [moojitsu] 18-10-2006(35): It'll seem like an eternity in the water if you cannot swim.

4) [crd88] 12-4-2010(14): There's enough water in the world to swim for eternity.

5) [activeaero] 20-8-2008(11): Michael Phelps can SWIM for "eternity" if you give him enough "water".
