SAILING ACROSS A SMALL LAKE IS DIFFERENT THAN SAILING ACROSS THE OCEAN. IT’S NOT JUST THE DISTANCE, TIME, OR RISK, BUT THE RELIANCE ON THE SIGHTING OF A PHYSICAL GOAL VERSUS GUIDING BY A MENTAL GOAL…THE ABILITY TO VISUALIZE WHAT IS NOT NEAR OR IMMEDIATELY APPARENT. WE ARE IN A SPECIAL PLACE, WHEN WE HAVE A SENSE OF HOPE, ADVENTURE, AND PERSEVERANCE, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING TO ASSURE US THAT WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH, AND NOTHING VISIBLE TO DRAW US FORWARD.
