Waves Of the Ocean

Like the steady waves of the ocean, that vary in strength, temperature, and height at various times of the year, it embodies seemingly paradoxical ideas: consistency and inconsistency.  Like so much in nature and in life, it's full of paradoxes (as we all know too well).  Oh this, the 'rollercoaster of life'? Yea, we get that part.
The hard part comes, when the waves become too strong, so forceful (like the national weather service prohibits anyone from going into the waters) -- but you decide to go in.  You decide oh so wisely, that you want to face that immense force alone, face to face.  So you do. As steady as the waves are, you're struck down in one breathtaking (in the unfortunate way) sweep. You're lost, surrounded by chaos, breathless, the pressure of the water mercilessly suppressing you further, and headed towards what seems like certain darkness and death.
You can succumb, give in, and let the chaos and pressure easily consume you. Or... You can move, fight the elements working against you, and make your way out and away from the darkness.
Details to notice here? a) The inevitability of the waves: nature, as in life, there will be inevitabilities you are left to face (many times alone). b) But I can't forget that I, You, are in control and have the choice to use what is given to you (the way you'd simply use the strength in your arms and legs to push you out of the water, as per metaphor above) to press your way forward and beyond.  c) Remember to move, keep moving: or else, the waves can catch up to you again, and pull you into their forces once more; once you've risen to the surface, have air in your lungs providing oxygen for your brain to function, continue to move, simply keep moving to make certain you are a safe distance away from the force that which just almost consumed you.

As dark, impossible, unbelievable and awe-strikingly immense things may seem...there's always light somewhere somehow, its very existence which might be impossible/unbelievable, but surely exists, proving that no thing can be impossible or unbelievable unless you let it be; and embrace and indulge in the awe-strikingly immensity of whatever faces you, for you are witnessing the intimate workings of the universe.
