Ship of Fools

I appologize for this delayed posting, I've been wanting to write about this for so long now. Funnily enough I had a hard time finding the proper title for this post. I wanted to name my boat. I finally found this "ship of fools" amist a song that I really hate hearing at work (thank you Yahoo! radio - coffeehouse station). I named it the "ship of fools" because it holds all of those thoughts and memories that keep you in this place where you yearn for something more ... as if it was in your grasp but reality fools you otherwise, casting you away toward another direction.

In my fictious boat, I experience life ... through high seas, weathering storms, witnessing rainbows, countless sunrises and sunsets that continually take my breath away.

In any rate, I have recently found that friends near and far seem to experience the same trials and tribulations or emotional distrought at the same time I am. Same emotions and expressed frustrations make me think/say, "we're in the same boat." However, I want to tell my comrades, "get off the damn boat! swim away! you want something better than to be here." Then it hits me, would I rather have the company - such as the saying "misery loves company" ? Or would I really want my friends to find their proverbial island paradise?

Of course we would all dream of the island paradise where happiness seemingly lies. But when, nay, what will happen that will get us to that island? Will we be rescued or will we muster the courage to swim into the sea of the unknown. Some earth-shattering event has to happen at some point right?

Alas: faith, hope & love friends ....

silent-g

the fifth note.
no, a consonant quietly existing.

who would have thought, this oddly placed letter would make such an impact. is it suppose to be there? how would it exist otherwise? how do you pronounce it?

it both forces you to open your eyes and see the world in a brand new fashion, and yet, refuses to come out on its own. partelle, what is this little silent-g afraid of?

funny how one little moment in time could have such an impact. how one little letter can affect someone so. how the mind struggles to find peace and solidarity to understand. its silence speaks volumes but does not lay to rest any trace of hope.

someone sees you silent-g: for who all that you are, what you represent, what you want to be.
