• I used to sit on the banks with a raft and watch
  the water roll lazily by. One day I pushed my
  raft into the shallows of the water and found the
  water moved swifter than I thought. My raft was
  actually a boat. Then, after some time, I rowed
  my little boat into deeper water. There were
  great storms, mighty winds, tremendous waves, and
  sometimes I felt so alone. But I have noticed my
  little rowboat is now a mighty ship manned by my
  friends and loved ones and beautiful calm seas,
  warm sunny days, and nights filled with
  comfortable dreams always double after a storm.
  Now, I could never go back and sit on the bank.
  In fact, I search for deeper water. Such is life
  when lived.- B. D. Gulledge
