My Ship and I



O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship,
Of a ship that goes a sailing on the pond;
And my ship it keeps a-turning all around and all about;
But when I'm a little older, I shall find the secret out
How to send my vessel sailing on beyond.
For I mean to grow a little as the dolly at the helm,
And the dolly I intend to come alive;
And with him beside to help me, it's a-sailing I shall go,
It's a-sailing on the water, when the jolly breezes blow
And the vessel goes a dive-dive-dive.
O it's then you'll see me sailing through the rushes and the reeds,
And you'll hear the water singing at the prow;
For beside the dolly sailor, I'm to voyage and explore,
To land upon the island where no dolly was before,
And to fire the penny cannon in the bow.

- My Ship and I, R.L Stevenson.


In pursuance of the goal "follow thy whim", she (Whim) has led me home. A "year" of travel in a month. On the day I fly home I meet Pete who has been travelling for 11 years (it's too easy to think there is causality).

Going to pursue some ideas to their end back at home.

Thanks for following this blog. I appreciated the feedback and comments.
