sailing is everything... the sea is life, the boat, the life line. once the wind fills the wings of freedom, as her bow points the way, the horizon becomes your future... your heading is your present, your past irrelevant... as she balances she becomes one, finely tuned to the laws of physics, she powers on effortlessly.......
as the wind takes you, the waves move you, the sounds fill you...... you're in peace. in balance. in trim.... time stops, as you open your eyes the sky is red, day turns to night. endless stars will light up the sky, they will guide her, protect her..... as she powers on by night the water glows for her, the sky shines for her, she's in her element.... she's god.
that's sailing.
