There at the helm of the house boat, effectively cutting out the rest of the world - with only me, the ripples on the water, the sky and the steady lull of the boat- I was completely at peace.
At peace with me, at peace with my inner demons and at peace with the various complexities life continues to dole out.
It was the most comforting sight, the life in the water co-existing with the tranquil expanses of the skies above.
Energy and serenity together at once, exactly like the state of mind one was in.
So many thoughts in the head, the rights ,the wrongs .
The black ,the white and especially those greys- the ones maxing out my emotional strength.
I had a boatful of friends to give me company, yet over the din, I could distinctly hear the heart, a steady beat, helping me reaffirm what I had just realized
- Tranquility can only be appreciated by its absence.
There I was, looking till where my sight went,
looking where the sea and the sky met and the only thing I could think was
‘Only my Creator can judge me ’.

"As for the American Captain, no one knows what became of him. Some say that he died of his wounds. Others, that he returned to his own country. But I like to think he may have at last found some small measure of peace, that we all seek, and few of us ever find. "
