Saturday photo

Journey... where one path ends, another begins.
But "this boat" is docked - for now.


This boat has been "docked" for far too long now... and the lure of the water grows irresistible by the day.  It is ironic though that this photo was taken on the day the shore made a really strong case for the boat to remain "docked"... the day fate, through my research students, made a strong case that, perhaps, there is still one good reason to keep "lingering"... that some exciting mysteries are still waiting to be unravelled.  And yet, the mysterious horizon also beckons... and I might regret not heeding its call.  My time is running out, too.... 

Should this boat sail on, or should it remain "docked"?  Ah, what a torment... a sweetly tormenting puzzle!  But no puzzle is unsolvable... and solving the puzzle is what makes the journey worth taking.  I pray for wisdom.
