When the waters kiss the boat with a rather stern energy you are reminded of the strength safety net that the shore offered.

And when the boat ebbs a bit in hapless disregard for the passengers on it you sniff the challenges ahead.

You have a thousand butterflies in your stomach. But there is strange adrenalin coursing your veins. Its almost like when you were young, full of life and ready! Thats when life shifted.

You grip the oars and can feel the water through them. You begin to stroke the oars and the waters seems to gird their loins.

A thin smile escapes furrowed brows and pursed lips. For you have worked at this. You are ready for the ride.
