A blue shrimp boat that taught a young man how to rig up the sails and travel at the wind’s pace. When the saltwater air begins to smell like freedom, the horizon reflects the sun’s descent, and the crew’s feet acclimate to traveling. The wind and the water cause us to move; to be stationary requires effort, to be malleable is natural. That boat teaches the young man how to read receipts, and that the Earth provides food. The ocean will teach him the rest that he needs to know, including how to listen.
