“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.” — Lao Tzu
Look left, look right
but don’t sail out of sight—
sail towards what does not feel right
changing the direction
will lead to more insight
Sail towards the chaos —the beauty is in the storm
weathered equals experiences
that are not always the norm
Change direction in those sails
head towards a destination unknown
there you will find new experiences
that otherwise would remain unknown
Sailing on the route that is known
will never change the soul
but going through the storm
may make you feel worn and torn
but you will discover the treasure is in who you truly are!
