Captain Privilege
Every man should have a boat.
A boat to sail the seas.
If you cannot afford this boat, okay. You have hands. Make one.
And if you do not have hands, then you must use your smile.
For many smiles have paid admittance upon the open blue.
And if you have no smile, then you must speak.
Speak from your heart. For it is this that sets the course of your ship.
But if you have no heart, then you must find one.
For how can a man guide the rudder if he cannot guide his soul?
But if you have no eyes to find your heart.
You must use your ears to listen.
And when you hear the sails, just be ready to jump aboard.
But if you have not sound. And you have no sight. And you have no smile. No heart. No hands.
You
might be the boat.
And I will be your captain.
Alas, we will sail the seas.
