Sailing with “Kirkness”

Sail On…

(written with “Kirkness”)

Happy Two Years and many more!

A ship sails through the sea, the wind fills her sails, she heels to starboard just a bit, her bow strongly cutting through the sea, dolphins leaping and playing aside both forward quarters and riding in her bow wave. The weather is fair this day with a following wind and gently rolling seas, the fates treat this small entity plying the waters in such a vast ocean with kindness and compassion as if acknowledging a kindred spirit.

Not all days have been as such on her journey. There have been storms where the she was tossed and turned about, all her sails but a very few reefed in tight in hopes of maintaining a semblance of control, she learned how to weather these storms to sail on and out into the clear warm skies once again. And then there were times when the winds and the waves were full of mischief and pushed her off course into unknown waters where she had to learn to find her way back. And she learned how to trust her instincts when the clouds took the sun and the stars away from her sight. And she sailed on.

Over the years she learned how to work as one with the sea and the winds, learning the ways of the vast world around her through which she sails and to sincerely appreciate the times when seas and the skies turned a fair face upon her ongoing journey. And she sails on because she has learned and is learning still. And through all her experiences good and bad she welcomes all aboard her decks with joy, kindness and compassion to share for a moment in the journey that’s carried her so far and so long. Appreciating each individual for who they are and taking them to all the wonderful places she encounters on her travels and telling tales of the places she’s been. And when these visitors leave it is almost sure that they will come aboard once again to share in the journey with her.

May the weather be warm and fair and may the winds fill her sails as she makes her way to her next experience and beyond. May she sail a following sea for all her days as she continues to take us with her on her most Successful and Outstanding journey.

Sail on…

    Nothing wrong with listing a bit Liz. Fine sailing ships occasionally find themselves having to tack with the wind in order to get where their going wouldn’t you say?

    Sail well my friend!

    Hi Kirk!
    I think we have the same bit of a tilt, you and I. :)

    Maybe that’s how we recognized each other. :)

    Sailing on parallel courses are we now? Aye lass, could be why we knew each other then. It’s been a pleasure so far. Maybe one day my course might take me to SOBCon where I can meet you in person. Ya’ never know.
