Ahoy!

Let's talk about life. I believe it is quite an interesting topic and worthy of attention. There have been comparisons and theories, there have been novels and movies, poems and plays that have addressed this topic, but what really is this life thing?

It has been compared to anything from a box of chocolates to a game of chance where the odds are against you, I'd like to compare it to the sea and I'll tell you why. I want to compare it to the sea because it is the closest thing to a clear and realistic definition.

Life, like the sea, is a never ending series of twists and turns that never sits still and always goes around the shores of pure warm sand that surround our shores, the edges of our uniqueness. In the same time life is also deep with many of its greatest beauties and its greatest secrets lying far beneath the surface.

The length of effort life goes to in order to be challenging is always constant , yet it's always shifting as quietly and subtly as the sea while trying to batter against the stern of our boat in order to try to rock us of course until the winds begin to spill their breath into our sails.

The last boat to travel the ocean is the last boat to see its wonders and thus a new adventure begins each time the sails rise and the wind is caught. Still the day comes when the wind fades & the sail is downed for the dock is right next to the hull, the ironic part is that we never see it coming and the harder we look for a safe harbor the farther we drift away from it.

Let's sail across the sea of life and twist around the storms and atolls until we get too old to steer, the sails too weak to hold the wind in their back and the bridge too poetic to hold its own against the waves without singing and humming. When that happens let's nap away and cast away from the dry dock to take one last voyage.

G'day & g'night!
