E Moemoe A (Tahitian for “Dreaming”)

Sleek, Black Sailboat Departing Mo’orea

For the past several days we had seen it at anchor in Opunohu Bay and had admired its low, sleek lines. We could not help but wonder what it would be like to live on such a boat even for just a few days. Though we knew that it would not happen, we enjoyed dreaming about it. As the boat sedately sailed away, I was sad, but only a little, for it had stirred the imagination, and I was so much the better for having dreamed. Had we never dreamed, we would not have been here to admire its passage.
