I Need To Remember...

I need to remember when the storm approaches

or perhaps if no warning is upon me, 

that the storm is part of nature. 

It is safest not to anchor to a dock in the harbor, 

afraid of the incoming waves, 

but to release and go into the tormenting sea, 

roll with the waves until they subside. 

Otherwise, if I identify with resistance to the storm by anchoring 

I will perish with the other boats and wrecked harbor.
