Big Boats On The Water

Once wrote a poem...about watching ocean going boats...soon to sail for distant places
...and the haunty feeling you get...about you...yourself...just sailing away from the
place where you are at...and leaving any tangles and difficulties...behind. I suspect
...a lot of people get this feeling...but we all know...it's just another kind of day
dream...and where we find ourselves...is where we need to sort our lives out...rather
than yearning for geographical cures. Of course...there are times...when such a dream
...persisting...results one day...in our seeking a new life...elsewhere...many
immigrants...for instance...will attest to that. I guess...it all boils down to...
having the wisdom to know...the difference between...when...we are just escaping...
the messes we keep making...or when a genuine change in our lives...keeps calling us
...from somewhere...deep inside. Still...there's something about big boats on the water...that will keep moving us
...in a special way...............Quester.
