Setting sail takes time:
building the boat
fitting all the fittings
rigging all the riggings
loading supplies and fuel
storing food and safety kits
keeping all trim and ship shape
finding funds to service it all
accepting help and celebration from friends when needed and offered.
Once the work is all done
~ and is it ever? ~
only then is
the moment to unfurl the sails
with joy that a new journey has begun.
“Many are the strange chances of the world,’ said Mithrandir,
‘and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter.”
~ J.R.R.Tolkien, The Silmarillion
