To see the unforseeable.

"Why ponder thus the future to foresee;

and jade thy brain to vain perplexity?


Cast off thy care, leave Allah's plans to him--


He formed them all without consulting thee."



--Omar Khayyam, The Rubaiyat

"Just a dream and the wind to carry me"

Just like Bob....




we did some sailing today...

(I'd take the wind over no wind; rough waters over stagnant too)

Read RayRay's post for our wind-blown epiphanies.

I leave you with the brilliant words of Chris Cross's song "Sailing"...
I actually prefer NSYNC's rendition.

(I deem this my 'quest for Neverland' theme song.)

"It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me


It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free


Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me

It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me"
