Remember that when we are dealing with the young ( spiritually or chronologically) it is best to keep things simple. Yet as the story continues of the wave and the ocean, we ~hope~ that the person thinks , 'Hey wait a minute. This wave is water and so is the ocean , where then is the difference ?' Then the conversation continues. Why did the wave rise up ? under whose power ? Where does the wave go when it settles down ? This begins the growth process.
