Riding the wave for Jane Of course you are frightened. That is the pain. Try to breathe. Exhale as though you are about to launch yourself on the wave that will bring you to the beach. You are the wave. Enjoy the foam twinkling around your feet. The wave retreats for the long gathering, but you are here now, safe on the warm dry sand. This is how it will be for a time until the wind drops and the waves flatten. You will breathe, calmly, and calmly the wave will bear you on its back to safety. Afterwards, you will gather yourself and walk without the pain. It may be late, it may be soon. One day it will be gone. You are so light, riding the wind like a kite.

Beautiful. I love the way it proceeds in waves. Each time the metaphor shifts a little, leaving another imbricated scallop.
Wonderful consoling images. Grazie mille!
