Being "far from the shallow" is layered with meaning, since it can refer to the shallowness of people. Conversely, you're safe in the shallow end because it's warm and you can't down. Nothing can harm you there, in much the same way that nothing can harm you when you live life on the surface - "in the shallow" - nothing can harm you because you're not involved. But in the deep end, where we find the core of ourselves and others, we're attached and can't let go without losing a part of ourselves and maybe drowning in loss.
