The Boat that Launched a Thousand Ship

If you stay on a small island and looked straight ahead, what would you see? The blue sky with white patches of clouds meeting the glass, rippled waters of the salty sea that surrounds you...
It's good to admire things.
It's good to marvel and look at the things that are pretty and beautiful in this world.
Sometimes we need a more closer, deeper look at them to appreciate what beauty they hold.
Riding a Boat is the best experience I've ever had when I was a little boy. My Mom won't let me, so one morning (very early...I woke up before them) I borrowed a boat from a local fisherman (we are having a vacation at a beach, a local man there who owns a boat let me borrow it for a while) and rode on.
At first my conscience is driving me mad. Perhaps when I return, my Mom would be mad and starts babbling again. And then, as I go rowing that boat, I feel a little comfortable and at peace as if all the bad things in my life passed on...
The sea makes us forget.
The ripples, the waves...the sky that stares and watches you...
I stopped rowing for a while and lied on the boat looking at the sky.
If I would die right now, I wish to know what the sky is made of...
I want to know why the sea reflects the sky, why my boat float on its mirror-glass surface
and why...why, oh, why...
I'm lying right here, right now, marveling the sky and the sea...
When I returned, my Mom was mad. It was okay.
I watched the sunset on the boat, whatever my Mom says.
The world is a pretty place. Come see it from the sea.
