When water rises - you must hold your breath and allow it to carry you.
There is a time to shut up in this world, to sit still and listen, and to allow yourself to float. This is that time.
The time of saying nothing when the whole world is yelling its lungs out.
You will understand that it is exactly the deafening cries of others that disallow them to hear the sound of the waves coming down upon them.
Even if you have important things to say - you must learn to be silent.
Take a deep breath - and float.
Rise with the tide.
Because when the tide arrives - the world around you will suddenly go quiet.
All will be silent.
Some because they're floating.
Others because they've drowned.
Save your breath for what's important.
