• To look at any thing,
  If you would know that thing,
  You must look at it long:
  To look at this green and say,
  "I have seen spring in these
  Woods," will not do - you must
  Be the thing you see:
  You must be the dark snakes of
  Stems and ferny plumes of leaves,
  You must enter in
  To the small silences between
  The leaves,
  You must take your time
  And touch the very peace
  They issue from.

• The biggest danger in sailing is not the open ocean. It's hitting things. So if I have a thousand miles between me and land, a storm doesn't really upset me. If the boat's set up right, you get beat up a little bit, but the boat's going to handle it fine.
