The wind catches the sail as the boat points away from the wind. The boat tilts at an angle and slowly we pick up momentum, silently cutting through the brown silty lake as the sail catches the breeze, Peacefully, peacefully moving forward with not an utterance of words or the sound of a chugging engine. The moment is still, the moment is meditative, the mind focussed on a point where to turn/tack the boat, but always with a final destination ahead.

Along the way, we learn many things, meet many people and avoid many obstacles. The Journey is sometimes long, sometimes hard, but never dull.
It is our patience, our attention, our awareness, our keeness and our love that keeps us on an even keel. I sail into the river of this moment to see where it takes me. Somewhere in the distance is where I want to be, but I cant see where it is yet, and sometimes maybe the wind will be in my favour.
