THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN SPEND THEIR ENTIRE LIVES TRYING TO FIND OR UNDERSTAND THEIR PURPOSE IN THIS LIFE, AND PARADOXICALLY, THAT SEARCH CAN TAKE A LIFETIME OR EVEN MORE THAN ONE LIFE TIME. IT TOOK DAN LENARD 43 DAYS TO COMPLETE THIS JOURNEY OF GREAT DISCOVERIES BECAUSE IT WAS A COMBINATION OF A GEOGRAPHICAL JOURNEY WITH AN EVEN LONGER AND MORE DIFFICULT INNER JOURNEY. TODAY, MARCH 3, MARKS SEVEN YEARS SINCE THAT CROSSING. SEVEN YEARS FAR FROM TIBET
ONE OF THE MOST CURIOUS AND REMARKABLE FEATURES IS THAT DAN, TOGETHER WITH CARLO NUVOLARI, DESIGNED HYPER-TECHNOLOGICAL BOATS, BUT HE CROSSED IN ALMOST THE MOST ESSENTIAL WAY TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC. WITH ENOUGH MENTAL CLARITY TO UNDERSTAND THE TIMELESS GEOGRAPHICAL DIMENSION OF THAT CROSSING.
THE CROSSING IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES THAT WE COME INTO THIS WORLD WITHOUT ANYTHING MATERIAL AND WE LEAVE WITHOUT ANYTHING MATERIAL. NO MATTER HOW MUCH FORTUNE YOU HAVE ACCUMULATED, HOW MANY OSCARS YOU HAVE WON, HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU OR ADORE YOU OR FLATTER YOU HAVE AROUND YOU, WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS ALL THE GOOD YOU WERE ABLE TO DO FOR OTHERS, HOW HARD YOU FOUGHT TO BE HAPPY.AND HELP OTHERS BE HAPPY.
THE DAN’S JOURNEY BEGAN AND ENDED IN A BASIC AND SIMPLE WAY, BUT HE RETURNED WITH UNIQUE EXPERIENCES
HE UNDERSTOOD THAT. EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES, WE PAY WITH 24 HOURS OF THE TIME REMAINING IN OUR LIVES. YOU CAN BE HAPPY OR YOU CAN BE SAD, BUT YOU WILL PAY IN ANY CASE. THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS YOURS. IT IS ALSO CLEARLY SEEN FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW THAT TIME IS MORE STRICT THAN THE TAX DEPARTMENT IN MATTER OF PAYMENT.
AND SO, LITTLE BY LITTLE,DROP BY DROP YOU SEE THAT THE SEA IS A GREAT ANCESTRAL TEACHER.
SHIPS CHANGE, DESIGNS CHANGE, POLITICIANS CHANGE, HEROES CHANGE, STATES CHANGE, NATIONS CHANGE, AND EVEN TRUTHS CHANGE WITH THE PASSING OF TIME, BUT THE SEA IS ALWAYS THE SAME, THE SEA IS ALWAYS THE SEA.
AT THE END ONE DAY IN A VERY FAR AWAY MOMENT “WE THE HUMAN BEINGS” WILL UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE ALL DROPS OF THE SAME SEA
THE CROSSING IS PROOF THAT THE MAGNIFICENT MACHINERY THAT IS THE HUMAN BODY CAN BE CAPABLE OF OVERCOMING ITS OWN LIMITS AND THAT THE HUMAN MIND OR INTELLIGENCE IS SUPERIOR TO ANY ARTIFICIAL ONE
THE SEA OFFERS ANOTHER DIMENSION, AND ONLY WITH SIGNIFICANT MENTAL CONTROL CAN SUCH A CROSSING BE ACHIEVED.
MANY PEOPLE HAVE DONE IT, SOME MORE THAN ONCE, BUT THIS IS THE STORY OF DAN AND HIS CROSSING, AND AS DAN HIMSELF SAID, “IF I DID IT AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY, IT WOULD NOT BE THE SAME.”
TODAY, SEVEN YEARS AFTER THAT ARRIVAL IN FORT LAUDERDALE, WE FIND OURSELVES IN A WORLD DIFFERENT FROM THAT DISTANT 2019, AS IF 400 YEARS OR THREE CIVILIZATIONS HAD PASSED. EVERYTHING MAY SEEM LIKE A DISTANT DREAM, BUT NEVERTHELESS, EVERY PERSON DESERVES WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF DREAMING.
EVERY MILE TELLS A STORY
EVERY LIFE IS A TRIP
EVERY PERSON IS A WORLD
KEEP SAILING
