31 Days of Moving Reflections – Day 15 #SouthFloridaBound

 

Saturday October 15

Red flags everywhere.

Not a green one to be found.

Not since I’ve been here.

D remembers being caught in a rip current once.

(They move faster than an Olympic swimmer, they say.)

He thought he might drown,

but he remembered the rules.

1. Call for help.
2. Stay calm.
3. Don’t fight against it.
4. Stay afloat and wait for help.
5. Swim parallel to shore.

In other words, go with the flow.

He went straight to #5.

There were no warnings that day.

The current caught him unaware.

He prefers not to swim without a lifeguard.

And he’ll never disobey a red flag

Go green!
