Captain's Thoughts

Meeting the thoughts that undue

With a resolve they will lose.

We know the weather is rough

But our keel is made of strong stuff.

 

We are the captain who's been there before.

Knows how to navigate the seas afore.

Yet even the best may fall below

The mighty waves the sea can throw.

 

Know the course that you have set

And avoid the pitfalls that you get.

May the weather be calm and seas smooth

But prepare for the worst is smart too.

I do hope that...
"Meeting the thoughts that undue
With a resolve they will lose."
they will lose...

This goes back to following a path we set for our-self...
And preparedness is always good...

Good thoughts George

Love and Light

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
