Hi @tyme
My "Asgard" was actually a sailing ship we trained on, not the Nordic heaven most people think it relates to. She was an amazing ship where I experienced true freedom.

Thanks for sharing.
I often find myself dreaming of true freedom as you say. There are moments in life that may indeed give us a little taste and window into it. Glad you had that experience.
As a point of reflection, I wonder what makes true freedom. I guess there are so many individual answers to it.
For me it might be a feeling of being in the right place at the right time.

I recall mentioning this thread in our recent conversation. Such an inspiring read to hear some of the stories behind our profile names.

My forum name honours the memory of a little Siamese cat that passed away a few years ago. A sensitive and intuitive little soul that my partner and I miss terribly.
I have been privileged to enjoy the companionship of many non-human species over my life, who invariably provided me with the unconditional love and emotional support to help me navigate life's challenges. The following quote aptly sums up these feelings:
“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unopened”.
Anatole France
Or, as the current vice chancellor of a university was said to me "animals are are only known companions in the universe, so why wouldn't we protect and love them".
