get ready
As a sailor, we learned to read the wind and the water by watching. More than an alluring illustration of alliteration, the ripples on the water could be seen at a great distance and we could trim our sails in preparation. You have to watch. Keep your eyes open. When the ripples increase and the water is dark, today’s race might indicate that you need to set your strategy to include holding on tightly. Good sailors are already trimming their sails before the wind arrives. I pray that you keep your head up and stay watchful with expectation. There's momentum; movement all around us. Watch. And get ready.
