Standing alone…

“The sea is emotion incarnate. It defies all attempts to capture it with words. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can’t.” Christopher Paolin, Eragon

Lazy seals…

“My goal is no longer to get more done, but rather to have less to do.” Francine Jay, Miss Minimalist (Lazy Seals at Pirate’s Cove, Oregon)

Oregon Coast…

“The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too” Vincent van Gogh
