Escaping the Ugliness of Life

I really like it when I sail, especially when I look all around just to see a horizon, where the sky and the waters meet. I always feel nothing. The troubling past, demanding attention, is always not there. So is the overwhelming future, promising more troubles.

I always find peace at the emptiness of the sea.

But then, I am always confronted by the present circumstances at the same time. And I realize that we just cannot escape from reality. I guess all we have to do is live it. Boldly- just an idea or, assertively, you may say.

For those religious out there, please help me say this prayer:

" God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change those I can. And, may you give me the wisdom to know their differences. Amen"
