Acquelline

“Although the surface of our planet is two-thirds water, we call it the Earth. We say we are earthlings, not waterlings. Our blood is closer to seawater than our bones to soil, but that's no matter. The sea is the cradle we all rocked out of, but it's to dust that we go. From the time that water invented us, we began to seek out dirt. The further we separate ourselves from the dirt, the further we separate ourselves from ourselves. Alienation is a disease of the unsoiled.”
― Tom Robbins, Another Roadside Attraction

“You are made of the same minerals as the rocks--the same water as the sea. You grow in the sun. You breathe air cleansed by trees. When are you going to get the message that you're a part of Nature?”
― Nancy S. Mure, EAT! Empower Adjust Triumph!

“The sea is a desert of waves,
A wilderness of water.”
― Langston Hughes, Selected Poems

“If There Be Sorrow

If there be sorrow
let it be
for things undone
undreamed
unrealized
unattained
to these add one:
Love withheld
... restrained”
― Mari Evans
