To all the Ships at Sea...

"To all the ships at sea and all the ports of call; to my family and friends and strangers. This is a message and a prayer. The message is that my travels taught me a great truth. I had what everyone else is searching for and few ever find; the one person in the world who I was born to love forever. A person like me of the outer banks and the blue Atlantic mystery. A person rich in simple treasures, self made, self taught; a harbor where I am forever home. No wind or trouble or even a little death can knock down this house. The prayer is that everyone in the world can know this kind of love and be healed by it. If my prayer is heard then, there will be an erasing of all guild, and all regret: and an end to all anger. Please, God. Amen.
If some lives form a perfect circle: other's take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand. Loss has been a part of my journey, but it has also shown me what is precious; so has a love for which I can only be grateful."
