The Launch

                                         Many thoughts run through my mind at this first blog!  Is the ship ready?  Will she sail? Is there enough ballast?  Is the navigation (bar) clear? And what of the crew? Will I be able to hold the rudder fast when moving through questionable waters and possible attacks?  Will we be able to paddle these great oars through mountains of knowledge and fjords of  creativity, past great halls of history and buried treasure, locating ancestral knowledge as we search to the future in an ongoing exploration of beauty, wonder, inspiration and understanding.  I guess I should have been blogging all along the process, but better late than never (I was still learning how to weave the fibers for her sails and left this part for last - oh dear)!  This VIKING SOUL website is exciting for me ... she is the longship that carries my inspirational cargo into new lands of knowledge, creativity and sharing.  I hope Viking Soul will gather crew along the journey as she sails through the known and unknown fjords of experience and discovery. It is a great feeling  to have her finally built and launch her with food for the journey in each sea chest ... my music, my stories, some favorite music from amazing musicians and connections for you, my sailors, to build your own ship and sail forth!  With an eye to the horizon of possibilities and an ear to the ‘lur’ of future creativity, let’s SAIL!
