Two kayaks.
Two paddles.
Two people.
Two ideas of kayaking fun.
His: Fishing and Exploring.
Mine: Reading and Relaxing.
He caught fish.
I caught up on my reading.
He explored.
I relaxed.
He loved the sounds of nature.
I loved the sound of silence.
He toted a 'dry bag.'
I didn't need a 'dry bag', since I had no intention of getting wet.
Our common ground?
- We each own a yellow kayak. His is sit IN. Mine is sit ON.
- We each love the water. He, IN it. Me, ON it.
- We both love maneuvering the rapids. I fall out. He rescues me.
- We each appreciate wildlife. He, up close and personal. Me, from a significant distance.
- We work together, toward a common goal
- We respect each other's differences.
- We harmonize our contributions to the cause.
- We each contribute to the overall well-being of the team.
We refuse to give up, but will often give in. Whatever it takes to have a winning team.
I love our team, and our teamwork.
'Many waters cannot quench love. Neither can the floods drown it.' - Song of Solomon 8:7
