Hugh of St. Victor

I spent a lot of summers on the ocean with my family. and this ending really sums it up for me. "Happy is he who escapes unharmed from that storm-tossed sea, and reaches the safety of the port!" Here Hugh has us on the sea with the wind in our sails and Symeon has us in the sea looking like God. Water is a mystery to me. I like being in both places. On the sea I smell and hear and see all that is before and behind me. I tack back and forth as I move towards my destination. I sit on the bow and ride the waves on the vessal. I know that I will reach the prot because I have the greatest of Captains at the helm. In the sea I am the vessal. I am not able to see or smell but I can still hear. Long sounds that feel like they come from far way. For what ever reason I feel less safe her in the water than on it. How do I manage to stay unharmed. I don't.
