Build A Boat

"Many of us need to jump off the train and build a boat. Trains are constrained to rigid tracks set out for them to follow. A train's momentum and tracks make it almost impossible to steer. A boat is a very different thing altogether. Boats set sail into the unknown subject only to wind, and wave, and weather. Boats can be lifeboats preserving wisdom and understanding while the storm rages overhead. Boats can be arks- safeguarding the life of the world as the floodwaters rise. And boats can carry us away into adventure- away from the shores of the current paradigm into those unseen shores of a future not yet written. Get off the train and build a boat."   ~ From www.whatawaytogomovie.com





"One does not discover new lands
without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time."
~ Andre Gide (Nobel Prize in literature 1947)
