Objective Correlative

Cale Houghton An Objective Correlative of my Emotional State

Currently, I am drifting through the middle of a wide river, hanging onto a piece of driftwood. Every time I try to swim towards a shore, the current pulls me back into the center of the river. The current is lazy when I just drift though. I have been on the river for a very long time, and in the past I have had to ride through many rapids, hanging tight to the piece of driftwood. I am still tired from these rapids, and I know that there will be more to come. I feel confident that I can hold onto the driftwood until the end of the river if I am paying attention the whole time, but I also am worried that one mistake will cause me to drown.
