To the Breeze

"Here’s to the breeze that blows through the trees, blows the sails on life's stormy seas here’s to the sights that often delights but more often lead to social reprieve.”

Sometimes when I think about my life and where I’ve been, I see myself as a boat sailing through rough waters pushed from one place to the next never really knowing where I am going. I plot a course but the wind takes me where it will. One day to the next and everyday after that I sail. I wonder where it all will lead. One thing I do know: I am not the only one on the water and there are rougher waters out there. I feel I am sailing on a bubble that could pop at any moment.

This is a nice analogy you came up with! We often enough find ourselves sailing on without knowing where we are headed or where we'll end up.. the main thing is to hold on tight and to never let go.. always keeping in mind that though these are rough waters, still we can make it through to the other end..
I liked reading reading this! Nicely penned :)

Thanks, I imagine there is this invisible hand (the breeze) that is guiding our sails... yet the whole thing just feels so unstable like a bubble that could just pop. I appreciate your input. Thank you.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yes it feels like it, I agree.. You are welcome :)

Oh my, that last line hit me right where it counts. I feel that fragile peace of the "bubble" that could pop at any moment.

All of your imagery was solid here. All the emotions were very relatable as well. Who hadn't felt lost, adrift, out of control despite their best efforts to the contrary?

Nice job. Keep it coming!

Nice analogy. We are adrift in life looking for our place. Well done.

Your connections to the water, to the waves and wonder around you create a very powerful glimpse of the world as it carries us all on its currents. So well done.

Thank you! I am very glad that you enjoyed it. Lifes invisible hand is pushing us all and yet it feels so unstable.

Sometimes the currents pulls me over the rocks.. but yes, we just keep carrying on a little bruised.
