As the boat gently glided away from it’s mooring
The waves lapped at it’s hull as it drifted on the current
Some people struggling to connect feel a similar effect
Drift along with the majority rocking unstably
Emotional connections seem vital for quality of life
For without them we seem to bounce about in strife

WP was super shocking for me for a few weeks Mich but is settling a bit … but I don’t get all posts in my reader or all notifications … frustrating but I pray others understand 🙂
Hope your problems resolve soon!

Precisely, Kate. Without orientation, without the navigational (emotional) charts our will and our interactions provide, we drift aimlessly.
Soon we have no idea where we are. The ocean looks all the same, featureless, when we’re unmoored.
Give us some buoying currents and a decided purpose, though, and it’ll be a great cruise!

Reminds me of all who suffer from dementia – each new day, the same as before –
but different. To only live in memories – hard for everyone involved.

So true and well written, Kate!
The ocean waves…whether their sound barely perceptible or loud and powerful…are always mesmerizing to me.
Yes, connections to others are so important for our emotional good health.
HUGS!!! 🙂

yes, the conjunction of the boat gliding but without something more, it just drifts, love it.

Drifting can sometimes be good, so long as we’re charting our own course.

we can drift, and charting our own course is important, thanks for pointing that out Miriam
… just added this to the latest prompt also as both are similar in meaning
