two tiny thoughts about boats, recorded months apart in my 2020 notebook

“The Wind Has Died” by Charles Simic:

My little boat,
Take care,

There is no
Land in sight.

and this Old Breton prayer which I copied from an On Being email written by the lovely Pádraig Ó Tuama:

God help me because the sea is so big and my boat is so small.

I hope to be back after Thanksgiving with a real newsletter. Until then, I hope you are taking the care you can — of yourself and of others. It’s none of it easy, friends, but the water is still beautiful and the boat sturdy.
