Tick-tock and a hook,

so the story goes.

But what if . . .

the story is life?

A hook and tick-tock.

So many analogies and metaphors come to mind when I think about my watery experiences. In October 2019, I took a cruise from Australia to New Zealand and through waters of the South Pacific. It was an incredible experience for many reasons. I enjoyed watching the anchoring and de-anchoring of my ship, the Ovation of the Seas in several ports, even while mooring for tender.

Have you ever felt the need to seek something intangible, but real in your perspective? Perhaps you feel an urge to walk through mists and shadow to see beyond the visible and find yourself in the heart of the matter--your heart. 

I was blessed the spend time with my father as he prepared, unknowingly perhaps to him, to pass from this mortal life into eternal realms. This is my experience and love expressed through narrative poetry while at his bedside.
