Be Varnish.

Smile! You’re Varnish. – Photo Eric Frazier

We can learn a lot from our woody boats. Patience, history, wood working, art history to just name a few. But the one thing that really hit me the other day is how powerful varnish can be when seen through a metaphorical lens. Sure, we are going to get deep here, but there is so much more to our boats than just a thing to float around in. Varnish. Let’s talk about it. Varnish like you, can bring out the best, and protects life from the sun and time. It rewards us with deep luster and emotion. It preserves history and always reminds us that life is fragile and should be appreciated and protected. Even the fine art of refreshing varnish is like life. Focused attention to detail, and not to heavy a hand are always needed to make good things last. In a way, you can be Varnish, you can live a varnish life, you can remind folks about how you care for them, protect them and always enhance their soul and outer sensitive skin. You can keep the old from looking dry and gray, and when you are out in public you can always capture a ray of sunshine to make the world a better place. See. Be Varnish, and your world will always be a wonderful day on the lake.
