Over the moonlit water, Dov tapped the boat rail and invented the Splashless Step Game. “Guess the next plip!” he whispered, pointing at each tiny wave before it kissed the wood. The sail creaked, the ropes smelled salty, and his friends tried not to giggle as they counted, “One plip, two plip, oops—that was a slosh!” Joy bubbled in Dov’s chest so much he had to share the game with everyone in the boat.
Then a new player joined without climbing aboard. A quiet step came from the water itself—no plip, no slosh, just a soft shine around two sandals. Dov’s mouth popped open. Jesus smiled as if he had known the rules all along and took another splashless step. Soon the whole boat was laughing and counting in whispers, because the best game had made room for the biggest joy. Next time you see those little waves, can you find the step with no splash?
