Manny Answers Like the Tide

When I asked Manny how he stays hopeful, he didn’t answer with logic—he answered like the tide. One moment quiet, then suddenly, everything made sense in five weird little phrases. Each one landed softer than I expected, but hit deeper than I was ready for.

He told me “The sandcastle isn’t ruined—it’s reshaping itself.” That alone stopped me. Then came driftwood, puzzles, even the idea that the tide hugs longer when we’re low. These aren’t just metaphors to Manny—they’re how he moves. I’ve seen him rebuild something beautiful from broken scraps with nothing but a piece of string and a gentle look toward the moon.

So if today feels off-balance, try reading those five lines out loud like he does—slow, with a pause after each. You might find the cracks aren’t a sign of failure. They’re just places the next wave is meant to fill.

Come see what else Manny has to say when the tide gets weird.
