The Tide in life turns as it does. A great step in the Journey of Releasing is to see that, allow it, enjoy it even. Rather than take it personally, reject it, feel we are being attacked, or punished, we can learn to see it differently. See each changing tide as an opportunity to grow stronger, wiser, have a fuller more meaningful life. As soon as we ask ourselves what we are learning from this, the pain and fear disappear. Our focus changes. The pain and fear do not come from the tide, but from the way we view it.
