If I Had a Boat

There is a Lyle Lovett song called, "If I Had a Boat." It has some really fantastic lyrics. The chorus says,

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

I would definitely take a pony on a boat, I couldn't think of anything better to take on a boat, except maybe a life jacket (or raft)... especially if the pony was horsey.

I took this picture at Jordan Pond today. It moves me. I can think of a lot of reasons why, I blipped it, so I won't share all of them, but I have to say that the fog moves me to melancholy. Of course, I've been floating on a sea of melancholy lately. I have however been buoyed by my time here with my family and my friends. I have been shocked by the love, the sacrifice and the extravagance of love they have given me. So I am not alone on my boat... I have some ponies. And life rafts.

Here's one of my favorite verses, if I were you, I'd just go download the song.
And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony
on my boat out on the sea
