The best way to survive a tsunami
is to not be where it
happens.
This can be harder than you might
think. We’re attracted
to the wild,
to the places where we learn
about ourselves. What
we’re made of.
Some people are in fact the most
violent tsunamis: we know
who they are
and yet we still put ourselves in
their path, as though daring
the wave
to drown us. It’s a gamble, letting
them in: the outcome might
be fatal.
Safety’s an illusion once we realize
what we’re addicted to…
…is the storm.
