You think that you have it under control. You think that getting into a small pool with only a 5 foot deep end would be easy, almost boring. Then its too late. You feel 3 small hands already grasping you, and you wonder where the forth hand is. There is so much splashing you cant see where the other two little people are approaching from, but you know they are coming. You think that because you are so much bigger, and so much better in the water that you can handle this. You think they are just kids, they are not organized, they don’t know how to work hard or set goals. But you forgot that water empowers them, transforms them, and organizes them. Soon they all have specific tasks, leaders are called, and plans are made quickly and decisively. Some are called to be clingers, and once they have you they wont let go. Others are splashers to disorient and confuse you. The inexperienced among you may be thinking about now that you could just get out of the pool.. They will follow. It’s all over, there is no escape. Good luck.
