As I stood there in the ocean it was as if the current were moving me, and if I held real still and closed my eyes, it was if I could feel the earth moving beneath my feet. Eyes shut tight, I could understand why people did such things as jumping from an airplane, or leaping through fire, or battling tigers or fall in love. I could understand why people smiled and laugh and danced and lived. The waves crashed up against me strong enough to take me away, and I realized there will always be forces that are stronger than you and I. But as you came to stand beside me and you, too closed your eyes, I knew I could jump from an airplane, leap through fire, battle tigers, fall in love, smile, laugh, dance, live. There will always be forces greater than you and I, but you held my hand and kept me upright as the waves bashed against us, and that's all that matters.
