If you are riding and/or surfing the waves competently, with your head above water, you have a level of mastery with the emotions and cycles of life.

If you are drowning or having a hard time keeping your head above water, then perhaps it would be good for you to take a reprieve on dry land before going back into the deep end of intimacy.
