“Just keep swimming” is profound spiritual advice from an unassuming blue fish. The real issue in the life of the human person, indeed, is not getting beaten up, but getting stuck. It all begins with that false voice that says we’re not good enough (Gen 3:5): our hearts become dull and drowsy (Ps 119:70), and our lives gradually grind to a halt. To move FORWARD, even if we do not know exactly where we are going, is an act of trust. Such a decision, in fact, evidences a primal faith that cuts deeper than all the dogmatism and pietism in the world. Praise the Lord for the revelation of motion as the essence of life (Ex 3:14). Praise the Lord for the seasons of life when we bravely wander in circles. Praise the Lord for the deep waters that invite us to swim with purpose for all eternity (Lk 5:4). Ave Crux, Spes Unica.
