Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream. ~ W. C. Fields
As my brother nears his 2000th blog, I write my 200th tonight. Hard to imagine that I have managed to keep a fairly dedicated approach to this blog, even if I write only a paragraph of rambling! I have been at this now for 6 ½ months. Woohoo!! It has been fun and a joy to write everyday with a purpose in mind.
This photo is of a window in the library in Juneau where I went to check email during the cruise. The salmon industry, of course, is a way of survival for many in Alaska. I watched some run later in the trip, in a little creek in Ketchikan, being chased by a sea otter, which seemed to have a voracious appetite.
There was something about this stained glass window that made me smile. Perhaps the quote above was what I was subconciously thinking…these salmon come with intent and fight all odds to complete their purpose in life. It is so much easier to float downstream on all kinds of levels but perhaps then your life purpose is never achieved. I choose not to float. How about you?
Peace,
Suzanne
