5 WHAT IS WRONG

Riding Life’s Waves

Swimming in the waves at the edge of the ocean is like a lesson in life. Sometimes you’re just bobbing up and down as you ride the waves, which can be sweet, playful, or even boring. A big wave could arrive unexpectedly and crash into you, or you’ll see it and brace for it and it turns out to be no big deal. Once in a while you’ll see a wave coming and prepare for it, your heart racing and your breath pacing as you face it, and when it comes you are high with bravery, anticipation, and a little bit of fear. And somehow, you make it to the other side. It’s bliss as you catch your breath, squeal with delight, and play in the leftover bubbles. There are also times when the big wave overwhelms you and you might even need to take a break and get out of the water altogether to recover. Life is full of waves, and over time you learn that they will always keep coming, and there is always the other side.
