Out of Phase

As any surfer can tell you, being successful at surfing involves being in the right place at just the right time moving in the right direction at just the right speed.

Why is it then that I seem to be out of phase so often? I go left, the wave goes right. I paddle like mad, only to have the wave pitch out and slam me. I think I’ve got it pegged, but the wave slips under me. Sometimes I just can’t get it right.

Reminds me of much of my life. When I have some money, I can’t buy what I want. When I need something, I’m broke. A day late and a dollar short, miss the bus, the phone stops ringing just before I pick it up, it rains on the picnic, smoke gets in my eyes.

Well, that’s OK... I’m looking for a City whose Builder and Maker is God. I’m headed for a better Country. My real home is not here.
