Two girls were playing by the water’s edge of Lake Superior. Their pant legs were rolled up and they were pushing the limits of what they could do and still remain dry. They monitored the waves and moved accordingly.
One of the girls appeared to slip and hang precariously over the water. Balance was rediscovered and she righted herself. The other one must have found the rock with algae on it and she showed the first girl how to fall in the water.
She came up sputtering and clamored on the dry rocks, sitting there shivering.
Life is generous. We are free to make choices. You can walk close to the edge if that is where you want to be. And sometimes when you walk close to the edge, you can fall over, or in this case, you fall in.
