“Didn’t that just figure? One of the most”
― Mark Stone, Hidden in the Shallows

“My mother used to tell me that there were two kinds of people in the world. There was the rock and the wave. Both were strong, but in different ways. The rock is steady and unmoving, and the wave is a force, wild and free. When you look at it, you might think that the wave is bigger than the rock, that it slaps into it far too hard, changing its shape and whittling it down into nothing.” She squeezed my hand now, returning the favor I’d given her just moments before. “That’s not really true, though. Because what you don’t know, is that maybe the rock needs to be changed, and maybe the wave needs to be tempered. And, in the end, both of them are better for it.”
