A ship is safe at harbor but that is not what it was meant for...
Thoughts from shore,
If ever a journey were to have beginnings it was surely by leaving somewhere behind. Leaving is what this story is about. Standing where I am, watching this schooner leave out, I realized that the stories never follow the people left behind. Left behind, our story isn't harrowing; it's everyday. Our struggle is safe harbor versus ocean gale. Our struggle is to give wind to that little voice that begs, "explore," from a shadowed nook in our minds; to strike out security for the chance to add a legacy to our lineage and brand our souls with the badges of bravery... or, to hold fast to shore. We are vessels, like this ship, and a ship is safe in harbor, but that is not what it was made for.
