The View from the Bow

Photograph by Author — Life at Sea Early Morning View

Everyone likes to be front and center at the movies, concerts, and theater. Others chose to be front and center at work, class, or play. There are times that you have little choice, thrust into the light front and center.

Life on the Bow of a ship is not much different. Everyone can see you out there, many people rely on your expertise. It is no longer a viewpoint but the point. Looking out, predicting the future is a life skill. You live, you learn, and you teach the next generation.

Passing information down the line is what created modern society. The ability to share information with others is the future. Knowledge is the future currency of modern society. From a writer's life at sea.
