Liberty is being free from the things we don't like in order to be slaves of the things we do like.--Ernest Benn

All of my adult life I have wanted to grab short morning sails when the water seems to be so gloriously blue and virgin-ly clear; I can remember doing so only once or twice on a lake in my Laser. It would be the best way to start any new day; and it would be a great goal for the new year.
"short morning sails when the water seems to be so gloriously blue and virgin-ly clear"
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a Zen koan about learning to see a crooked pine as straight.
The answer to the koan is "A crooked tree is crooked and to see it 'just as it is' is to see it straight. "
So enjoy your morning sails, even if not under "perfect" conditions.
