You cannot save a sunken ship; nor can you will the waves of the sea to be gentle to your vessel. But if I have learned one thing through watching myself become shipwrecked time and time again, it is that keeping a weather eye on the horizon does not keep you from facing and imminent fate. It only stops you from feeling a gently rolling tide and seeing the horizon for what it really is: radical, vast, and tragically beautiful.
