When the boats are at shore, they seem so out of place. The right place for this timber is when it rides the harsh waves of the sea with ease.

It is quite a sight to look at the boats that are raring to go. Ready, girding their loins, just besides the sea.

But do you realise, the long voyages that are made at sea are actually longer voyages. For they are made in the minds of the voyagers first. Then at land, where the boats are built.

When the boats aren’t built well and the mind doesn’t imagine broad enough, voyages don’t happen as well as they could have.

What voyages are you on? How far have you traveled in your mind? And by the way, how strong is your boat?

When the waters kiss the boat with a rather stern energy you are reminded of the strength safety net that the shore offered.

And when the boat ebbs a bit in hapless disregard for the passengers on it you sniff the challenges ahead.

You have a thousand butterflies in your stomach. But there is strange adrenalin coursing your veins. Its almost like when you were young, full of life and ready! Thats when life shifted.

You grip the oars and can feel the water through them. You begin to stroke the oars and the waters seems to gird their loins.

A thin smile escapes furrowed brows and pursed lips. For you have worked at this. You are ready for the ride.

You need partners. Ones that will watch out while you are at the wheel. Ones who will hold the wheel steady while you set direction.

Ones that you won’t bother to look if they are looking. For you know they are. Ones who will spot a wrinkle that you spent hours trying to hide from the world. Even when you did all that you did to hide it from the world, you were pretty sure you couldn’t ever hide it from them.

It is in partnerships that moments come alive. Love blossoms. Possibilities emerge. New realities come alive.

It starts with trust. Have you experienced it?

A picturesque boat house is best complemented by a an awesome boat. The awesome boat by a super estuary. The estuary by the island. The island by its people. The people by their smiles.

And it goes on.

It’s never just one thing that makes all the difference. It’s in the coming together that magic emerges. Every moment suddenly unfurls itself, dusts off any slumber and emerges in its glory, on the coming together!

That’s exactly what happens in teams as well. There is a difference between a team made of champs and a champion team!

Coming together makes all the difference! Coming together means saying more ‘WE’ and less ‘I’. Try.

To just stand and watch the wind energise sails as they are unfurled is something indeed.

Reminds me of human potential. That comes all wrapped up. It requires some unfurling to go a good distance
The Isle Of Wight reminds you of many things in its own unique way.
