Tobermory/inspring/scotland/tover2008"It is needful that you look straight with the eyes of the spirit of God, as straight as a cable stretches taut from a ship to her anchor. Then as the anchor is fixed firmly in the earth, so do you fasten your eyes to God. Even though the ship tosses at sea in the waves, yet she is safe and unbroken as long as her cable holds fast to her anchor....."
ionasailings/tover2008 And with these anchors: -
wisdom and humility
and prudence and moderation
and justice and mercy
and reason and maturity of mind
and goodness and cleaness and abstinance -
with these you shall fasten securely to God the cable that shall keep safe the ship of thy soul.
King Alfred the Great, 849 -901
interpreting St Augustine
