“I bought salvation from a man on the street. He said, "Go down to the beach and let the waves wash your feet.”

“With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.”

“Love is not a feeling in your chest; it is bending down to wash another's feet.”

“When the tides change, you have two choices. You can either stand there, letting the water wash over you and your feet sink deeper into the wet sand... or you can get out of the way. You can move up the beach - or off the beach, if you want. The point is to not get stuck.”

“When I walk down the beach and smell the salt water, hear the waves crashing against the shoreline, and feel the granular sand under my feet, I can't help but realize why I'm here on this green earth”

“...he said, with sort of a little derisive smile, "How can you walk down the street with all this stuff going on inside you?" I said, "I don't know how you can walk down the street with nothing going on inside you.”
