Like failing to let go of the waterski rope when I take a dive, not accepting the fall is what causes all my pain.
I’ve turned a little unexpected swim into a torrent of water up my nose.
Which, mercifully, will only last as long as I hold on.
All that’s needed in this moment is to let go and enjoy the swim.
It’s time for this now.
And right when it should, the rope will come around again.
