Together, we are on the Buddhist raft, Tristan’s skiff, Moses’ river basket, and Charon’s ferry across the river Styx.
We are with Jesus in the boat on the lake from which he taught.
And we are on the Wellerman’s Barque.
We are going somewhere, even though it feels like we have run aground.
Just remember that so long as we stay in the vessel, all will be well.

Adapted from Thomas Moore.
Soul Mates: Honoring the Mysteries of Love and Relationship (p. xxii).
