We believe that we own the world, that it belongs to us, that we have it under our firm control. But the sailor knows all too well the fallacy of this view.

He sails.<BR/><BR/>--Richard Bode, "First you have to row a little boat"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208947528588787864.post-85205783046595475982008-01-26T18:50:00.000-05:002008-01-26T18:50:00.000-05:00My favorite has always been:"Only sailors get blow...My favorite has always been:<BR/><BR/>"Only sailors get blown offshore"Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157414019882729388noreply@blogger.com
