Ever feel like you're on an old wood boat
freshly painted white, but still old.
It has a small hole in it
and is taking on a little water.
Enough to worry about
but not enough that you can't manage it.
You only have 1 oar
and a sail that would get you somewhere with a little wind.
Do you tear the sail to fill the hole,
stopping the leak,
but stranding you with only 1 oar, not getting anywhere?
Or do you put the sail up, hope for a breeze,
enjoy the sunshine as you get closer to the shore,
and manage the leak, 1 bucket at a time?
