Destiny

The word destiny is a sailor's term; it has to do with aligning your ship with nothing earthbound, with pointing yourself in the direction of the starts. pirates know that every moment is rich with information sent by destiny to guide them, and they steer by nonphysical markers. Pirates see the world as miraculous rather than threatening, serendipitous rather than capricious. This perspective keeps them from letting the part of them that is afraid make their decisions. Pirates never let their fears steer the ship. Rather than resisting what life brings them, pirates are astonished by nothing and find wonder in everything.
