“I’m at the Helm, but I’m Not in Charge of the Wind”

At the Helm

My husband said that to me the other night.  I think he finally “got it.”  Though he does follow metaphysical precepts, having given up the religion and the Catholic Church for lent at age 16, this whole “create your own reality” thing didn’t quite sit with him.

That’s he and my daughter there on one of our sailing adventures.  She’d left the kids at home with dad to take a turn on the river or two.

And basically, that’s the way the universe works — you’re at the helm, but you’re not in charge of the wind.  HOWEVER, if you know how to sail, unless there’s no wind at all — and at times life is like that — you can go anywhere you need to go anytime!

A good sailor can sail most any wind.  If it’s too much, he can reef the main, if the wind’s at your back you can sail like the old Columbus ships used to sail.  But with a sailboat, you can slice along the side of the wind like there’s no tommorrow.

And there’s no annoying motor to stuff your ears full of nasty sounds.

There’s the beauty of the seal pup that follows at a distance and the glimmer of light that is cast into a trillion diamonds across the surface of the water.  The wind, she is Wild, and she will take  you on a journey you won’t easily forget if you let her.

That’s why our friend named our house a land yacht — she has that look about her and the winds, the Wildwinds, bless us with their bounty all the time.  And us being sailors and all, actually pirates, ARGH, but the good kind like Will Turner — my journey is to help ferry living souls where they can find a better life for themselves.

I do that through my writings and affiliate marketing.

So if you wonder why you might have issues with the law of attraction, just remember you are at the helm, but you’re not in charge of the wind.

So dear friends — you need to learn to sail.
