ThoughtForToday – 3 November 

  

Ballast is

what’s needed

today

– every day –

except for 

the days

you want to list

flounder

capsize

sink.

Any chance you’d prefer an unballasted moment?

A wild risky experience.

Have you 9 lives?

Ballast you.

My ties and ballasts leave me, my elbows rest in sea-gaps 

(Walt Whitman)
