Approach
They gather to see “what can I do”
Readying for an exploration of ability
Shapes, sizes, reasons all may differ
For each on brings forth different colors
Bolting out quickly, some jump ahead
Others follow in an attempt to keep up
Some are looking for where to start
And some seem unable to begin
Eventually they all make their way
Across wide expanses of windswept life
All holding true to their reasons whey they do
And struggling to see where they are
Virtually seamless skills executed swiftly
A few galloping, running just behind
Some as if they are beginning to walk
Others avoiding drowning as in slow crawl
What they have learned will go on forever
Because they fully participate in life
And each has learned anew
What they can and cannot do
I was at the sailing regatta, in the spotter boat, watching the beginning of the race. The struggle of the participants reminded me of how we do our lives. It was amazing to watch even the last to cross the start line and finish line, and how much they were enjoying just being there. Some were scared to death, and probably benefited the most from the experience. Just like we do in all our lives…….. Lake George espian sailing regatta, 9/07
