It seems that we spend most of our time beneath the surface, living our routines in either deep or shallow waters depending on one’s preference. We are content to go with the flow and allow the currents to carry us forward.
But at times, we move out of the safety of our environment, either voluntarily or by force. The voluntary version is when you get to surf high on a wave, reveling in the beauty of life, experiencing pure joy, seeing something beyond the horizon.
The other version is when you are forcefully catapulted out of the water by an unexpected might that will leave you gasping for air, losing any sense of direction, and hoping to survive re-entry.
Both are needed to define us, but our focus should be directed towards making waves that allow us to ride them longer.
