And we try it. And as long as the water's only an inch deep, it works. We hardly get wet at all. A lot of the time, we're not walking. We're not even swimming.
Life feels like drowning in a storm, a lot of the time.
It would be nice if life were all smooth sailing, easy paddling around the shallow end of the pool. The storm is accidents which happen to innocent people. It's diseases which strike people with no warning and with no rhyme or reason. It's bomb threats. It's economic problems that destroy us.
