Today was a challenge. The hardest race I have ever steered. Not the biggest water, not even close but the most challenging, unrelenting, never ending.
And I did it twice.
The ocean is a beast. She constantly exerts her force on us at will, we are just mere creatures floating on the surface - some days just hoping to make it safely back to land. I love her power, have felt it only rarely - the insistent pounding. Tossed so effortlessly across the spines of her swells. The pure focus required to maneuver our tiny canoe along the surface, upright. Steady. I survived her today - the ocean - worked with her to cover the distance. Harnessed her power as best that I could and most importantly I didn't fight her. I was calm in her presence as she her exerted her full force upon us.
