Toes in the Shallows

JUMP IN!!!!!!!!
The water is FINE!!!
Besides, if we’re too cautious, we may miss out 😉
As frightening or painful as it can be, it is still LIVING!
Better to feel than be numb to it all…
GREAT WORK AS USUAL BTW 😉

I’m like that at the ocean…ever since I got to see the killer whales while walking on the beach at Waikiki. I decided that there were bigger things than me in those waters!
This poem it very touching in the aspect that we all do something similar to this when we have a down time. sometimes it is hard to just jump right back in. There seems to be a time that is …Just right for all of us after a down time and one just never knows when that time may be…but if it is rushed before that time it often leads to misery( or in the water…cramps!). great metaphor!

Thanks, 2zpoint! You are right in that we must be ready to ‘take a chance again’ and that is so difficult to tell… 😕
