Most are tossed and turned by waves.
Some like the sub, ride deep beneath the daily storms in peace.
Some simply surf the waves and have a lot of fun.
Some drown.
You can't stop the waves; it's the nature of the ocean of life.
You can only choose which method you will use to handle them.
You can be tossed like most.
You can drown like many.
You can surf and have fun while you can, but even a surfer gets
tired.
To ride comfortably beneath the waves requires a ship containing
breath that is not our own.
That ship. . .
is not crowded.
