God bless this tiny little boat
And me who travels in it
It stays afloat for years and years
And sinks within a minute.
And so the soul in which we sail
Unknown by years of thinking,
Is deeply felt and understood
The minute that it’s sinking.

Beautiful. I want to see my soul far before my boat sinks. :)
This blogging thing we’re in is helping us see our souls, don’t you find?
Agree.
I have found that there are a few people I can talk to and talk through the mess in my head and end up finding some clarity. Blogging for me is a similar activity. Another way to make sense of things.
Hello. How beautiful that it is. While in the car this evening I was thinking about this evenigns blog, arrived home to find this on your latest post – I think it fits quite well with the theme. Do you mind if I also post this and link back to here?
Hi Ms Butterfly. Sure, go ahead x
Thank you :-)
I agree with with Jodi–hope to know my soul at least a little before the boat goes down! This is a good reminder….
We will, we are.

So much wisdom here in these 8 small lines. Ask the man in a small boat adrift in the middle of the ocean surrounded by sharks.
