Description

Another in my "Sea Stories" collection in the "Down to the Sea in Ships" series.

I think of the journey each of us is on...our own personal quest for peace,
for truth, for wholeness...the journey of self-discovery -
and it takes me to the sea.

It is not the safe harbors when we are tied up at the dock that shapes and determines our story or that writes the log of our life�s journey. Rather it is where we go between our ports of call, the risks we take, the discoveries we make when we are far out at sea, away from what is safe and known. How we brave the storms, endure the calms and doldrums, whether we trust in the stars to guide us tells us a great deal about who we are. . . Lianne Schneider

We shall not cease from our exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time... T.S. Eliot (from Little Gidding)
