Times like the birth of a child, the landing of the first job, fulfilling the dream of owning a home, learning to ride a bike or being accepted by friends. These are some of the huge waves we may feel when the tide is in. On the other hand, the illness of someone we care about, the loss of good friends, the loss of a job we enjoyed, and the passing of those we love represent those powerful waves when the tide is out. Between the waves we experience the calm, placid sea when our lives are stable and things are going according to plan. The analogy of the wave and movement of the sea helps us to understand what life is about.
Life is about riding the waves of life.
