Freedom in the Float

Time flows in waves,

Chase the challenge of the streams,

Swim past your fears & doubts,

And paddle for your dreams.

—

Sometimes you’re drowning,

And gasping for air

Waves keep coming and crashing,

And life feels unfair.

—

And maybe you're floating,

Gazing up at the sky,

Sad not to be sailing,

Invariably asking why.

—

If only we'd be swimming,

Navigating sand and sea,

We’d find power in our purpose

And remember who to be.

—

The sea simply couldn’t be

Without the surge and scum,

Accepting what’s beneath

And loving what’s to come.

—

Celebrate the freedom of the float

Appreciate each ebb and flow.

It gives us time to recalibrate,

And know which way to go.

—

Find comfort in the current.

The uncertainty of the wave,

It’ll pick you up and let you down

Rewarding just the brave.
