The Set of the Sails

One ship drives east, and another west
With the self-same winds that blow;
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That decides the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate,
As they voyage along through life;
'Tis the will of the soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife.

by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

How wonderful to be in touch with you in this way...I appreciate you, your goals, and your reaching out to those God puts in your path. May my son, David, get to know you better and better! Set your sails in his direction often! Greetings from Virginia!
