It's just after 4PM on Monday afternoon. I'm waiting to get some news from Tim on Tom's condition.
I found this poem and thought it fitting for the moment as I've been wandering around the house looking at all of the sailing pictures with Zoe...
The Set of the Sails
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
One ship drives east, and another west
With the self-same winds that blow;
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
That decides the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate,
As they voyage along through life;
'Tis the will of the soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife.
