Sometimes knowledge comes from the most unexpected sources.
Whenever I run into a rough patch I tell myself ‘Ride the wave!’
You might think I am an accomplished surfer.
Nope, not by far! Never surfed in my life, might not even ever, but I digress!
Do you remember Dexter? The series, not to book. I have the book, never read it, might give it a go soon. Anyway, Dexter says this at some point to himself ‘Ride the wave!’ with the meaning of ‘go with it where ever it takes you, see it out and don’t give up/ stop.’
It made so much sense to me this pep talk, it resonated with my way of being, and sometimes when the world spins too fast and I feel I might have had just enough, I tell myself ‘Ride it out! See where it gets you, see where it goes!’ and I do, and most often patience, resilience and perseverance pay.
Pretty sure that this is not the case for all life’s events, there are some that we should put a stop of and move on, but others, it is worth sticking with to see what lies at the end of the rainbow. Pretty fitting, as we are in Eire.
Dexter. Interesting series, did not think of it in ages, but sometimes knowledge comes from the most unexpected sources and it is proof of the transformational effect art, in all of its forms, can have on us.
So ‘Ride the wave!’ never know where it might take you.
Well it really depends where your dark passenger wants to go. In Dexter's lingo.
