And so, I give in...

The tide turns... waves crash by... I stand here watching helplessly.. Do I even want to try and escape? Not...

Who knew? Storms dont call and say.."Hey! Guess what?! I am gonna visit again!" And would it really matter even if I knew? Would running away after locking up my home help? Wouldn't it be sitting there waiting for me to come back, like a bugging clingy guest from Timbuktu? Yeah, it would. So I stand here.. Because running away is tiring.. Because at the end of the day, it would still be lurking around waiting for me... Because, it doesnt seem to matter anymore..

So I give in.. It wouldnt help to put up a fight... It never did.. The waves take me in, easy and sure... They have enough experience of doing that.. So they carry me along, and I float.. No struggling here.. They know I wouldnt... Turbulent waters can do that to me..

And then I wait.. Wait for the other side.. Wait for the time when they would throw me over the shore.. Like they always do.. Like they know I know.. But they made it clear.. They aint going to be easy on me this time around... It's gonna be a long wait...

Welcome to the online world of release. The other side is always closer than you think. But first you must start swimming, no?

Thnx for stopping by. Hmm.. I agree it is always closer than we think. But that doesn't really help. When you are waiting, even a moment can seem like an eternity.

I agree on the second part. It is time to start swimming, or atleast try to. Never did try that.

I for one am glad though that storms usually dont announce their arrival.....they are inevitable sometimes and all the preparation in the world cant help you from being swept over with the tide....and maybe all you need to really do is go along instead of resisting and swim when you can...if you are tired I guess its okay to rest awhile and just float...but you know and so do I that eventually one has to swim to reach the shore....its rarely that we are hurled on to the other side without any effort on our side...it does happen sometime and I guess thats when God is watching out for us:)
But as they say...even God helps those who help themselves....

So..time to start swimmimg girl....and who knows you may take off and fly off into the sunset directly from the middle of the storm....like a seagull maybe:)))

@ VM:
welcome to this lil place! :)
Hmm.. I agree.It wdnt serve much purpose if the storms did announce they are coming.. It's always difficult to swim initially.. but am getting along.. :)

:)) LOL..wd love to fly off like the seagull.

about the other post, I found it unnecessary. Too much "about me" is narcissistic, no? :))
