The tempest is raging

Stormy waters? Waves overpowering you?

Remember what swimmers know:

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Forcing speed in the pool produces choppy strokes and slows speed.

Gentle execution produces clean strokes thereby increasing speed.

Whenever my life gets ugly, I realize the common denominator is me. I've been "swimming" too fast.

That's when I slow down and listen to Divine promptings.

Massive waves are bested by smooth strokes stemming from slow movements.
