Oceanborne Madness? André Schwartz

Traveling has inspired many and in a sailing vessel that is especially true. Observing all life throughout childhood and coming to the conclusion that ignorant adults cleverly disguised, as parents, teachers and persons of assumed authority educate the majority of children and don't really want them to grow up thinking for themselves but to regurgitate their "wisdom". This collection of stories are based on observations from early childhood to the present day and true events, sometimes funny and other times sad but always with a message that points toward the development of individual responsibility and awareness of our own actions. Observing humans in their environment the author noticed that only humans use the hide, feathers, bones or organs of animals to decorate, disguise, fortify or cover themselves and call that domination of intelligence over instinct. They say they search the skies for extra terrestrial forms of life to discover new life forms when it seems they looking for more of their own kind. Of interest is that they want to be anything or anybody else but himself or herself and in an often humorous and sometimes tragic ways it becomes apparent that you can only be you.
