The Gospel according to Captain Jack

(Originally Posted April 26, 2011)

1. Always be ready; you never know when the winds will change.

2. A song is a good companion.

3. Women warm your heart; children light the sky.

4. Embrace change -- it is the only way to make it safely to shore.

5. Spirits are real; they speak through the bright lights shining from the stars.

6. Never stuff a pig in a square box.

7. Old ways are good ways; when they were first good young.

8. Eliminate confict from your life; whistle.

9. Doors are locked for a reason.

10. The soul needs water to grow tall.

11. A tub of lard makes a slippery bed.

12. Fish see more than we think.

13. A sailor's chest is filled with gold.

Captain Jack (and I'm not talking Johnny Depp) is one of our "new friends" here on Vancouver Island. I wrote these down as I heard them spoken . . . there is wisdom here, somewhere :)

For sure, I will remember the sage advice about pigs and square boxes for many a day.
