Ships are strange places. I don't like boarding them as I get seasick. Nevertheless, I take them when there isn't any other option. There are things we don't like to do yet do because there are no alternatives. It's like a bitter pill.
Sea voyages take so long, it seems time is suspended.
Ships used to make me feel trapped until I took it easy. That one time I decided to just chill out and enjoy the ride. Then I began to see and experience things I hadn't before. Instead of huddling in my cabin, allowing the fear of seasickness to overtake me, I enjoyed the feel of the wind in my hair, as I stood on deck and looked out at the endless sea. I watched the sunrise and felt at peace with myself and suddenly got the urge to paint the changing colors in the sky, the orange and pink hues of the dawn.
