“The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
A long day underway changes the way a man sees.
After enough hours staring across open water, the mind slowly lets go of the clutter it carried aboard.
The horizon has a way of doing that.
Maybe because out here there is nothing to hide behind.
No walls.
No endless distraction.
Just sky, sea, wind, and thought.
And somewhere between the rhythm of the waves and the fading light, wonder begins to return.
Not childishness.
Not fantasy.
Wonder.
The kind that reminds you the world is still bigger, deeper, and more mysterious than the little boxes modern life tries to squeeze us into.
A life well-lived probably requires keeping some part of that childlike eye alive.
The part still capable of looking at a sunset over open water and feeling something difficult to explain.
