Better than hugging the porcelin rim! Seriously, it's wonderful how the images you create here mirror the wayward spirit that ventures out but not beyond its bearings.

Yes, what is here and now is all. Savor it. Don't lose it chasing after the horizon. The universe is inside you-a million stars. Worlds will come to you...

Masterfully expressed, Sir Ace. You dance with words so effortlessly! Bravo!...
Sometimes reckless release of that rudder helps one to season, as well as age!--getting lost is being found???
Another memorable write.

the harsh reality is that closer to shore
is closer to danger

Let us sail beyond this coast,
Let's inhale the breeze,
May we live life to the most
And sail the unknown seas.

We'll never find another shore
while we cling to the one we're on.

Peace,
Joseph

No matter how much we may consider ourselves to be "High Flyers" or "Dreamers" we all have a piece of ourselves that is at it's best on terra firma. We all seek grounding in one form or another. To find our center and to be grounded in a partner is truly a blessing. A beautiful and soulful write, Robert. NICE!
Take care,
Sherry

Ah, the call of the unbounded seascape and the beckoning of territories yet to be found, explored and conquered! A glistening, crescendo write that takes us over and through the peaks and troughs whilst at the same time providing an anchor of purpose that is directed by vision. A Columbian write that luffs the sails nicely with thoughts of new horizons whilst at the same time taking us deeper into self-awareness, personal mapping and discovery. An embarkation that makes all things possible: Energising, thank you. Kate xx
