About Me

On Latest Song : Three Days Adrift

A dreary pool we were, as a fog had beset us, making navigation impossible. Scarcely did we ever feel a wind blow, so as to not imagine it simply the breath of a shipmate's passing by the back of our neck. Such rested our ship, like a whale, beached, bloated. Unable to move itself, but only to be slowly rocked along toward an unknown direction by a lethargic current. Not a star by night and the sun, during its brief winter run, served only to confuse us through the white mist until it left us again. Unanswered and benign.

All the crew send their love.
