A Boat That Never Leave The Shore.



I've had just enough time...    to ponder about safe harborage.


Taken in Kota Kinabalu


 
"For love was offered me…and I shrank from its
disillusionment:
Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid:
Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.

To put meaning in one’s life may end in madness.
But life without meaning is the torture
Of restless and vague desire—
It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid. "
- "George Grey" Edgar Lee Master.

A boat that never leave the shore,
Still ends in the bottom.
Yet never sail the wide water,
For which it was intended.
