In the beginning...this is all about me. Trying to keep my head above water. It'll be dark. It will be black, but hopefully humorous. Here's a bit about me. And I always think that if someone else is better with words than you are, use their words...so for day one, I turn to the greats and their take on how I am feeling right now.
When beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the ocean's skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it; and would not willingly remember that this velvet paw but conceals a remorseless fang.
Herman Melville (1819 - 1891), "Moby Dick"
My eyes are an ocean in which my dreams are reflected. Anna M. Uhlich
Dive into the sea of thought, and find there pearls beyond price.
Moses Ibn Ezra, Shirat Yisrael
Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.
Publilius Syrus (~100 BC), Maxims
The gaudy, blabbing, and remorseful day
Is crept into the bosom of the sea.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "King Henry VI Part II", Act 4 scene 1
