Ali Walks Around

The world is like an ocean

and the universe is pushing and pulling us

in different directions. 

Although some of the waves may be large,

or small,

or seem like they are pulling us away

from where we are supposed to be going,

the ocean is just using her water

to always guide us in the direction

we are supposed to be going. 

We can kick the other way

towards other people

or other bodies of land,

or we can just breathe,

float,

tread water,

and surf with her waves.

We can let go,

notice where she wants us to go, 

and look around 

at who is supposed to surf with us.
