A Lesson in Sailing

Do not ask the ocean when it will grow still, Learn to breathe in the rhythm of its rise and chill. Every cresting wave that towers above Is only a page in the book of your love. Set your white sail—not against the wild gale, But angled with grace where your doubts used to prevail. Right where the fear of the deep water ends, True open sailing and freedom begins. And remember: even on the darkest night at sea, A quiet North Star keeps watch over thee.
