Drop the Anchor

by V.L. Verdéaux
Life is a river.
We are all in boats of our own making.
Some vessels are sound and well-equipped.
Others are leaky, poorly lit, and drifting without a compass.
The question is never whether storms will come — they always do — but whether we are prepared when the water turns rough and the rocks appear.
Drawing on the simple, timeless metaphor of boating, V.L. Verdéaux gently explores how we navigate life’s currents, tides, and unexpected obstacles.
With warmth, wisdom, and quiet humour, she reminds us that we are the captains of our own craft. Our thoughts, our preparations, and the way we choose to see the journey determine whether we stay afloat… or simply drop the anchor and give up.
A reflective, practical, and deeply human work of philosophy for anyone who has ever wondered how best to sail their own life.

‘Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon’ is a very old song.

 

Do we all sing from the same song book?

 

Are we on the same boat?

 

Do we cruise the same river?

 

How do we know when to drop the anchor?
