A rediscovery of my true Self - a land lost long ago and only dimly remember.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for commenting.

I seek for my own reasons... some sublime, and some admittedly piratical in nature. I am Odysseus. I am Ponce de Leon."<BR/><BR/>-the pearl is a symbol of wholeness--Maybe one's soul in completion. Are you journeying to re-find your lost soul, to find your true self?<BR/><BR/>Mine has always been a Grail quest. My mantra has been. "The Holy Grail is in the Belly of the Whale."<BR/>take care,<BR/>e.n.Eunus Noehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373232578708561409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-44329038697436540902009-02-09T10:00:00.000-08:002009-02-09T10:00:00.000-08:00Aussie wildfires are in the state of Victoria...Aussie wildfires are in the state of Victoria...The Secret Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676425268231171924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-11869891564806771322009-02-09T09:26:00.000-08:002009-02-09T09:26:00.000-08:00Thanks for the Joseph Campbell reference.

And because you admire boats and vessels, you must also admire people? I dunno, maybe, are you a people person?<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed this post. I love your connection to the water. I've been landlocked now for about five years, but before, the fisherman's terminal and the golden gardens were some of my favorites spots.<BR/>-my wife and I are always partial to getting fish n chips from sunfish and skipping rocks on alki.Eunus Noehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373232578708561409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-83439606844359346502009-02-08T20:51:00.000-08:002009-02-08T20:51:00.000-08:00Is this a bad time to mention my wife is named Vic...Is this a bad time to mention my wife is named Vicky?The Secret Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676425268231171924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-63449859952007985862009-02-07T22:10:00.000-08:002009-02-07T22:10:00.000-08:00Yes, the Family Guy - nothing like telling a joke ...Yes, the Family Guy - nothing like telling a joke a thousand times.
