I could join the mass of souls lost at sea. In one moment, one wave, one loss of footing, I could be dead. If anything, being an ocean lifeguard has taught me the fragility of life. We walk the tightrope between life and death every day. We put ourselves at the mercy of fate and the ocean, and trust our lives in her fickle hands. We don’t question or think, we act, we do, we save, we believe, we trust. We go in with every intention of coming out alive, and having a breathing victim in hand. We plunge headfirst in to raging seas that would make an atheist pray to pull people out of the grasp of the waves.
