with a slap on the rear we’re thrown head first into
life no choice in the matter at an early age must learn to
swim a few never catch on most though quickly grow
accustomed to the varying warmth and cold each developing a unique method of keeping head above the waves not always easy - life comes
with many storms - for some - constant - waterlogged - no helping
hand to pull them through they give up - sinking
into the blackness below for those of us able to weather the elements when life is good - we
skip across the surface seeming able to walk on
water most prefer to keep the
waves to a minimum others unafraid to make
them some choose a low profile
technique invisible just below the surface only coming up for air but whatever we do in the
pool of life - good or bad - comes
back reflected off those
bobbing around us ©
