I like Berenike's answer..... animals perhaps not only sense the most benevolent, but also are accepted by them.
However, I would choose to ride in the same ship that I currently occupy. I have been watching for a long time, and in the past my Bride and I felt
directed here to where we live, and I think it is our destiny to make our stand here, for the benefit of helping those around us in the potentially
difficult times ahead, regardless of if those times are economic hardship or something worse.
The "ship" I currently ride in -- my body, this shell -- is a vessel, and nothing more. The journey still continues....... or, better said, it is
my belief the journey still continues.
