There is no Earth, no shore or sailing ship.
But if I don’t believe, I lose you.
That's the power of religion... it promises things that the rational mind rejects, but the heart desperately yearns for.

I think Laura was Bill's religion all along.

"In a boat that slices through the water, bringing you closer and taking you farther away." This line in particular just cuts me right to the bone. Wonderful, wonderful work. I'm sniffly at this one too.

I love the word slice. And I find the image of a boat slicing through water very visceral & clear.
And yes, how ironic that Laura's boat takes her closer to her shore, but father away from Bill.
As it does/did to Bill, her illness & death breaks/broke my heart.

Then again, Bill tells Laura that she made him believe. Maybe not in her vision or religion, but simply in Laura.
