Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum

“There was a single blue line of crayon drawn across every wall in the house. What does it mean? I asked. A pirate needs the sight of the sea, he said and then he pulled his eye patch down and turned and sailed away.”

I thought at first it was a statue.  However, very quickly I learned it was not!  I’m often never fooled by this type of shenanigans.  However, in the end, it was well worth the $5 I gave him to perform for me. And, matey, perform he did.  Truly a pirate at heart.  From one pirate to another!

“I’m no longer a child and I still want to be, to live with the pirates. Because I want to live forever in wonder. The difference between me as a child and me as an adult is this and only this: when I was a child, I longed to travel into, to live in wonder. Now, I know, as much as I can know anything, that to travel into wonder is to be wonder. So it matters little whether I travel by plane, by rowboat, or by book. Or, by dream. I do not see, for there is no I to see. That is what the pirates know. There is only seeing and, in order to go to see, one must be a pirate.”
