life is hard,
at times as hard as crucible steel. (Mmm)
It has its bleak and difficult moments.
Like the ever-flowing waters of the river,
life has its moments of drought and its moments of flood. (Yeah)
Like the ever-changing cycle of the seasons,
life has the soothing warmth of its summers
and the piercing chill [...]

Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up,
seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared,
discovering we have the strength to stare it down.”

Remember what it was like at your first triathlon?
Registration, racking your bike, lining up at the swim start and not knowing which way to look (or even why)
just a state of fear and confusion!!!!!!
