Creating zones of comfort
in the midst of stormy weather
(emotional, political, financial or the real thing) ~
a real challenge to our resiliency
feet planted firmly on
a narrow,
slippery wet board
muscles unused to being planted firmly ~ never knowing when the next wave or wind will
gulp us down deep into watery currents without any life jacket.
Creating zones of comfort
before the storms of life or of weather
builds resiliency felt most strongly in stormy weather
staying always where our feet are planted firmly
strengthening muscles of heart, mind and body
always ready for the next wave or wind
that threatens diving deeper than we want to go
family, friends and new ideas are the life jackets that can save us from drowning.
“People drown, quietly, before our eyes, all the time.”
~ Ilsa J. Bic
