The Captain at the Helm

I'm standing on deck, eyes open wide
beholding the expanse of blue sky above and blue waves below.
Hot wind whips my hair and warm saltwater gently rocks the boat.
My grip is strong on the railing and I remind myself to relax it.

You're okay.

I'm sailing off into adventure.
Saying farewell to the shore behind.
I don't know where I'm going, but I know I'm going somewhere.
I don't know anything about the journey, but it's an adventure, so
I know

there will be good parts
and there will be bad parts.

The boat crests a larger wave, and my grip tightens again, so hard my fingers hurt.

Breathe. Breathe, love.

You're okay.

You're o k a y.

Nerves feeling a bit more settled, I shift my gaze to the back of the boat and grin. My companion grins back, hands carefully steering the wheel.

I'm sailing off into adventure, into mystery, and thus, am uncertain of many things.

Many
many things.

But I am certain of one thing, and that is the Captain at the Helm.

Here's to new seasons, new starts, and new adventures!

Happy Summer 2026!!
