Pearls of Wisdom

out of control lately

The Roaring of the Rapids

     In juxtaposition to our calm pool of water, the rapids portray a strong sense of vigor, an unyielding aspect of nature; the rapids can be very dangerous. They can be dangerous not just for their ferociousness on the surface, but what they can hide underneath their turbulent face.

                        It is safe to assume that if you fell into the rapids you would quickly lose your sense of control and be unable to guide yourself in any particular direction.  Their notion implies a sense of power outside of ourselves, something we must not succumb to.

                        The rapids are synonymous with life at its most turbulent of times, everyone can recall some period of their life where they felt out of control, perhaps you felt as though you were just long  just along for the ride during your most turbulent time.

1.    When was the last time you felt out of control, as though you were “in the rapids” unable to help yourself?

2.        How much of your life is in your control and how much is not in your control?

3.       If you think back to that most turbulent time in your life, what or who pulled you out of “your rapids”?
