"Relieving the Heart Without Abrading The Mouth"

It's an inconvenient situation that I find myself in - 'inconvenient' being a convenient adjective for fear of a harsher word. Every synonym of 'lost' leaps to mind and falls from thought. But can one be lost when one is afraid of open water? I guess that is an appropriate allegory/analogy/comparative image - treading water. Chance, opportunity, possibility - there are no circling sharks or brooding cumulonimbus clouds or churning rapids or gargantuan waves; no useful perfect storms, and no sign of land. There seems little difference in outcome between swimming and treading. But swim we must.

I have no idea which direction. Inspiration happens too often and not enough.
