Lesson 1:  Float
Part II

I.  Float Through Life's Storms:

 Sometimes Aeolus's bag of winds suddenly rips open and you find yourself on an unplanned Odyssey detour.* Keep calm and carry on, preserve energy, watch, learn, and wait.

II. Float Through Life's Doldrums:

 Stagnating?  The Doldrums is "where nothing ever happens and nothing ever changes."**  Ride the ripples to a sea of action.  Then swim.

III. Still Lost?  Need a Guide?

Check out Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth.

Quotables:

"What you can do is often simply a matter of what you will do."
