“Edges of the ocean. The water is what ties us together, yes? You at one edge, me at the other, but the same ocean, the same water.”

“You think it is so different because you live here in this time, in this place, because I'm from the far side of the sea. But we are attached by the water between us. It is the same tide and moon, the same sea, love, fear, losing, and death. Love does not change with time. The love that fills us and empties us, that clips our wings so thatwe must decide whether to learn to fly after that. To love or to fear.”

“I believe it's a miracle in life when you find people who care about and desire the same things you do, and creativity does that -- brings those people together in one place.”

“A broken heart, too much cold beer, ocean waves and a willing man were never a good combination, no matter what the country songs said.”

“Stories are always braided together - one affecting the other.”

“Souls bound together can't be forever torn apart by distance and neither by death.”

“Be careful what you believe - it is who you are.”
