“What does it mean to ‘breathe underwater?’ I’ll be the first to say, I

have no idea. There was no class on any of this in seminary. And yet,

before we grow any supernatural gills, we need to recognize that we are

underwater. The indefiniteness of this moment; the uncertainty of it

strikes us all differently, and yet the feeling of being underwater is a

good one–some of us might feel like life is a massive undertow, and for

others of us it is the dread of looking down and not being able to see the

bottom.”
