pick up all your defeats
like pebbles beneath your feet
and fling them all into the sea!
Sniff the air
look how the birds fly
Adjust your ship's mast
and sail away
in search of newer victories!”

“Once again I am riding my bike on the streets of loneliness. Your thoughts are the anchor that make me ride fast yet not lose my balance. You had promised me that you would never leave me alone. But I do know that the love that you have bestowed on me is more precious than the biggest pearls discovered by the sailors on their voyages of prosperity. I too sail on myriad voyages in the ocean of my life. And your love holds my ship steady in those turbulent waters of life when even the moon does not show her face to the world!”

“Seafarers of yore were superstitious lot and paid a great deal of attention not to invoke the ire of the Gods. Walking under a ladder aboard ship insured bad luck! Breaking a mirror guaranteed 7 years of bad luck and whistling was verboten! When Ursula came aboard the QSMV Dominion Monarch, she was taught this lesson in a most emphatic way!
“What could best be described as an “old-salt,� was in charge when they were on the open deck of the ship. Apparently his job was to look out for the passengers� safety, and he was a friendly sort. Talking about the lure of the sea, he explained to the children that they were never to whistle aboard any ship, for to do so would invoke the Gods and cause a terrible storm to toss them around. Being only 6 years old, Ursula hung on to his every word and explained that she didn’t know how to whistle. Laughing, he said that he would teach her, which he did. She became convinced that she could indeed “whistle up a storm,� one which never came!�
To this day Ursula believes this and throws a little salt over her shoulder if she spills anyâ€�. Yes, seafarers are still a superstitious lot!”

“One day a ship comes to your port. You do not ask why you came, where did you come from, how did you come, will you stay in the port because it is the ship you are waiting for, it is the ship that has come for you; it's like you've known the ship for years!”

“The monster under my bed is pitchpoling. See, when you’re in heavy seas you always face the bow forward. Steer into the waves. Seems to break the laws of nature but most times it works. You're gonna live to see another day. If your vessel gets turned sideways though, you get stuck in the trough and in heavy seas you can capsize. I don’t even worry about that so much. I can control that- I just steer the boat into the oncoming waves. Problem solved. Until it’s not.”

Asa was still holding on to her and she looked into his eyes sadly, shaking her head.
'Asa, I can't. I can't come with you. Grey-
'Grey won't be an issue,' said Asa defiantly.
'We'll be away from here! And we'll look out for each other, like we always have. Hanna, please - don't do this.'
Hanna reached up and placed her arms around his neck, hugging him. It took him a few moments to realise she had. He did not get the chance to hug her back properly.”
