Limbo

In every life, there is ebb, and flow. Currently, mine is in ebb, and it seems like a good time to start writing what I remember from the times when it was flowing.
I will start by trying to put my philosophy down, the best I can.
I have seen more than what I feel is my share of life, from very bad to very good, and I feel like the only reason is so that I may learn from it, and hopefully write what I have learned down, in hopes that someone else can avoid some pain, or more easily find happiness.
I see life as riding a wave; you have to paddle out to where the waves are, wait for a good one, and then paddle hard to catch it. When you're on, you must be in balance, leaning forward just enough to stay on the perfect part of the wave. When you're there, it takes very little effort stay there, once you can feel the balance. If you try too hard, you get ahead of the wave, lose momentum, and the wave catches up, and passes you by. If you relax too much, it gets ahead of you. Once you've done it a few times, you can try different surf boards, until you find the one that suits you best. It al gets easier as you gain strength, and intuition. Then you can find more challenging waves, and diffeent scenery. It's not always easy, though. Some days, the waves just aren't there, and sometimes the weather is bad.
In my life roght now, I'm just tired, and taking a break.
