Let's Dance

“I’m done dancing with these waves.”  That’s what a young man told me at the beach, as I was helping him get his car unstuck out of the sand.  He ended up stuck earlier and left his car to do a little fishing.  He said, “I knew I was stuck and could not do anything until daylight so I went wade fishing.”  He said the current was a bit strong hence the comment about dancing with the waves.  As he drove off, I thought about how we all dance with situational waves in life.  Things come along that cause us to lose our footing (or grounding).  Situational waves come in all shapes and sizes.  For the smaller waves, we can shift our stance a little wider and maintain our footing.  For the bigger tsunamis that blindside us and knock us on our butt, well that’s the time where we need to float with the current to get back to calmer waters to get our footing/grounding again.
