"The person who is swimming against the stream, knows the strength of it." Woodrow Wilson
It was another beautiful, moody morning at Manly this morning.
I was looking for inspiration for the this short blog and googled quote of the day and this one popped up.
The last couple of days the strength of the currents has been challenging, the waves have renewed energy and people are working to their limits, whatever they maybe. The ocean holds wisdom in all its manifestation, it has somethingto share in both calm and choppy waters. I find the waves and currents often cause me increased heartrate, but this morning my swim buddy just said, 'under this one, that one's done.... and now this one.' the quiet assurance of a friend, when we are on the edge of our comfort zone is such a gift. Another of our crew found a mate at the point, when she clocked the waves were a bit bigger than normal, his words of guidance gave her a the opportunity to hop on the wave feeling the strength and rush of a good ride in.
So thanks to all the people who stop when the 'strength of the stream' makes us pause and look around for support.
Happy Saturday to the lovely Bold and Beautiful community.
PS... a beautiful shot of Jen(my assuring wave guide) and Steve (the wonder dog)...xx
