Keep Sailing...

The other night, I dreamt of sitting in a port somewhere, somewhere I had been resting for a while. The wind blowing and boats rocking set a beautiful scene while I took in the air. I felt both comfortable where I was, and a kind of an urge to get up and get back on my boat. Then the next gust of wind whispered to me...

...If you don't keep sailing, you'll live where you're docked...

I had taken my time to appreciate that moment. It was time to get up and find the next moment. "By all means," the previous winds might have said, "take the time to absorb the beauty. While you do, listen and watch for when the wind is just right to fill your sails again. And when it does, get up and keep sailing. Don't get too comfy and miss your next journey - come along." 

All stories must first begin. And once they've begun, they must keep going.
