Purely functional in design, there is nothing beautiful or graceful about it. A picture like that is bound to start you thinking, at least if you are anything like me. On a fair day the water at that point looks so wide and so deep that you might think, if you knew nothing about navigation and had never come into New York Harbor before, that anyone could sail anywhere he wanted to in perfect safety. But it isn't safe. There is only one place where the water is deep enough and if you miss it, you are lost.
Life is like that.
Appearances are often deceiving. The world looks so flat and so motionless. But it isn't. It is round, and it is moving, constantly, in spite of all appearances to the contrary. But you can't.
