+-----A Boy Dreaming No More; Peter's Thoughts As He Walked On Water To Meet Jesus 

As a boy, I remember
my dad’s boat maker
expositing preferred sailing theory,
our fireside chats, nets drying under
the full moon’s gleam, twelve gods
of Olympus debating which
gifts to confer on Pandora.
To sail, to fish…to be a man, he said,
one must stare down his own
inner fears of drowning. To attack
raging winds, and stalwart waves of
soul fearlessly before embarking, reaching
for the mast. And, now, I finally get it.


------Matthew 14:22-29
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
