A big boat. We're gonna need a big boat, said. No, I don't want to do it that way. No dialogue. A big boat. There are some very big cruise boats. No. I don't want to write about cruise boats. There's this song that I've learned at the UU church (that's Unitarian Universalist) that's called Blue Boat Home, or something like that. The blue boat is planet Earth. That's a fun idea, that this planet is our boat in the solar system. We float around in space on it. Not just around, but around the sun, at least. I like that song. It's funny, I don't consider myself to have a religious faith, but I joined a church again. I just believe in love. I remember a moment, I thought I wrote about it at the time, but I haven't found any journal entry about it, but it really stuck with with me. I was sitting outside at Bur Oak Farm, looking at tree branches, feeling upset with someone, but the swaying branches in the trees somehow got me thinking about the concept of love and how much I believed in love as, like, a powerful force that anyone and everyone has the potential to feel, receive, and send out. And how, the more we have received it, the easier it is to send out. And how that was my faith, if I had any.
