Falling through water

Tonight in meditation, I had a realization.

if one were to wade into a pond... and their mind is on "fun" or all the external stimuli... and the next step is a hole in the pond... they'll slip under with a gulp of water.

But if one remains aware of each step... focused on the moment, then when they slip they can catch a gulp of air before going under.

This is a lesson on anger and loosing control
