sailing
people ask me lately, “how ya doin?” and it seems like i keep answering, “better than ever.”
i feel like i am sailing away. i’ve been on a sailboat once, with some friends who lived on that old wooden boat, in alaska. the thing had canvas yellow sails, and i saw a huge whale surface just a few feet from the boat…. and we sailed to a remote hot springs, only accessible by boat. we anchored out a few hundred yards and canoed in to the bay…
anyway, i don’t remember feeling much better than those sacred sailing days… and that’s just about how i feel nowadays… like i am the luckiest man in the world, like i have been given an awesome old wooden canvas driven vessel. the open sea. the big sky. the wonder.
