If a wave was to hit you…
If a wave was to hit you, would you remain afloat?
Perhaps you would want to know how big the wave is before answering that question. But the waves of life are unknowable.
We could live out our days and never be buffeted by more than a few two-footers. Nothing that would suck us under, at least.
The waves of life are unknowable
But, on the other hand, we could be hit by a tidal wave, a tsunami. What then, dear friend? Under we would go.
Would we resurface?
Again I ask the question: If a wave was to hit you, would you remain afloat?
