”A rising tide lifts all boats.”
I love this quote and the image it conjures. It’s been applied to all sorts of subjects. But the reason I am so drawn to it is because it’s true no matter how it’s used. Positive action influences in a positive way. It’s just a cosmic fact.
Much of the time we don’t think about our impact. Most of the time we assume we don’t affect anything at all, but we do. By our very presence we change the things around us at the molecular level. At any given moment, in any time or place, we can make a difference by the smallest flick of our rudder.
By using the wind, be it fair or foul, we steer our craft where we need to go. We take advantage of the tide to propel us on our journey and to bring us home again. We are all, each and every one of us, responsible when another vessel is in distress to aid and assist the best we can. To answer to our higher angels when the time comes.
And when you feel like a tiny dot in a gigantic ocean remember this – you are never alone. We sail together.
