Navigating the Ship of You

Peter Wright

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2014

Navigating the Ship of You is a book about discovery, exploration and sailing the vast oceans of our lives. It is about journeying into the Unknown and returning and making it Known - by drawing maps and charting our experiences. It is about gaining an understanding of the art of self navigation in order to enhance and transform our lives. It is set in two parts. Part One examines the primary phenomena of the art of self navigation, namely the power of Thought and Language. Part Two contains stories of some of the encounters on both my own voyages and the voyages of some of those I have helped, guided and explored with and sailed alongside. Life and its manifold circumstances serves up a vast and varied climate for our voyages and journeys, so our expertise and mastery of the Art of Navigation is of vital importance to our perspective, understanding and appreciation of what life in general, and our life in particular, is all about.

This, the first republication in almost ninety years brings a very special little book back into the public domain. In rescuing it from obscurity, the editing team comprising Peter Wright, Jane Frere, Kenneth Wright and with valuable support from Neville Rigby have sought to do justice to the remarkable original, written as it was, by an intrepid boy of just sixteen years. We commend it to those who would wish to know more about the rock climbing opportunities in the Inverness area - especially as described so eloquently from the experiences of youth. But it also gives a moving insight into what six boys could together achieve, as they grew from the ages of thirteen to sixteen. It has been worth putting the original book into context, and from this to show not only what a special group of boys these were all those years ago, but to give credit where it is undoubtedly due. Yes, there is sorrow in it, due to the tragedy of the War that ensued, but what shines through is a remarkable story nonetheless. Jane, the daughter of the the author, rounds off the republished book to perfection, in a moving account of how her father`s passion for the Scottish mountains and landscapes, shaped her own life, talents and interests.
