About This Quote

What would the life of a sailor be like? For me, there is no greater adventure than to discover the beauty that exists in everything. I want her to see the beauty in the waves, in the wind, in the clouds. I want her to know what it feels like to be lost at sea without anything but my boat and my compass. I want her to know what it feels like to come face-to-face with something beautiful and inspiring.

I want her to know what it feels like to have a deep connection with nature that goes beyond any language barrier or culture taboo. There are so many things that she would have to endure to be truly happy while living on a ship, but I am willing to do all of that if she can find happiness while living on land too.
