Came across this today and it really spoke to me.

I find the great thing in this world

is not so much where we stand,

as in what direction we are

moving: To reach the port of

heaven, we must sail sometimes

with the wind and sometimes

against it, but we must sail, and

not drift, nor lie at anchor.

-Oliver Wendell Homes

So, where are you on your journey?

i'll tell you what speaks to me, not so esoteric, but true. i know many people who live on the hook, at anchor. they are homeless except for a boat in the mangroves. as for sailing, Bothwell and i have a little code, 'sailing on the outside'. it means sailing down the keys on the ocean side and not the safety of the intracoastal. but i know this is not what you were alluding to. :-6 i couldn't help it.
