There is a motion in these waves that is aesthetic

Know best by those of us who they call athletic

Living in that cosmic instant known as now

Lingering and reacting and merging with it somehow

As we slide along in this  life’s slippery ride

We become one with the ocean forgetting our pride

This then is how we might best learn to live

Realizing it to be a balance of both take and give

Riding with the waves, life becomes a sort of beach

Lived with less resistance than fluidity that is in our reach

It’s best to avoid riding against these waves

To live lives of ease from our cradles to our graves
