About This Quote
The universe is an ocean upon which we are the waves. While some decide to surf, others venture to dive. This is a quote by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho. It’s a beautiful metaphor about being in the world, being part of it, but not being in control of it.
The ocean is vast and the waves are many, but whether you jump into the ocean or stay on the shore, you are still part of it. We all have our own personal relationships with the ocean that are unique to us. Some people choose to swim in others choose to dive.
For some, this swimmer/diver relationship is just fine with them. For others, it’s not enough.
