Ship ahoy (or boat in fact)
Ship Ahoy! (or boat, in fact)
This is a beautiful boat,
sailing around a huge ocean.
It has been a peaceful time so far,
but I can see a storm ahead.
So mind the tillers and stuff.
The rudder needs to be straight and safe;
it’s going to be a long night and day.
And it was, and worrying,
but the following day,
it was lovely again.
Next stop will be Cape Town.

“Our greatest creation is our selves. The way we cultivate our appearance and behavior. And nowhere is our artwork more apparent than in our own minds. They way we each have an idea of self. The one perfect self we've chosen by rejecting all other options.”

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
