I had a Zen moment today...
people are like dock lines. It came to me whilst I was doing a photo study of dock ties...

Some are different but cool in their own way...



some try to be cool but lose it in the end

Some just can not get it together

Some just get all wrapped up in things

Some just do their job even if it's not quite right

some are a mess

some just get underfoot and in the way

Some are up tight

Some are colorful , yet organized and neat

Some are effecent

Some like to hang with others not their type



Some are a mess

some get too wrapped up in the job

some are neat and almost perfect, but somewhat anal

Others do the right thing, but are slackers

others are slobs  who like to mixed with other slobs

Some are able to multitask and still be organized

Some like to hang loose

Some just barely hang on

Some are not quite right and the friends they hang with are poop

;D

Sometimes our best work is done without any idea of what we're actually doing.

Zen,

Small pics or no, that is truly inspired.  Good Job.   :)

I was trying to describe to a very newbie sailor the other day why it is important to coil halyards and the like while aboard.  Aside from the safety factor that comes from being more organized, I told him that others will judge his seamanship from what they see on his boat.

They cannot tell by looking at him that he might be an expert at celestial navigation or that he has weathered a fierce gale while singlehanding.  But, they CAN tell whether or not he 'knows' what he is doing by the way his lines are handled.

Good line handling is but one way to communicate "I'm a competent sailor."  And, I think, poor line handling says the opposite.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -Mark Twain
