There was once a scribe who lived in a small village just outside the coast whom was well liked and generally highly thought of in his home community. The scribe had said, “Should the great waters arrive you must remember that from the waters we came and to the waters we shall return.” As wise as he was the people thought this rather obvious until he went on to say, “Of your house a ship you must make, build not the base on firm foundations but on stilted legs from which a boated base suspends.” Crackpot or sage, no one could truly discern, even as he left them with the thought…”How will you build your house?”
