“ Try to be like the turtle --
at ease in your own shell. ”

Bill Copeland








“I will go back to the great sweet mother,

Mother and lover of men,

the sea.”

 

Algernon Charles Swinburne




" May your trails be crooked, 
winding, lonesome, dangerous,
leading to the most amazing view.
  May your mountains rise
into and above the clouds. "
 
Edward Abbey

Even if you are on the side of the
 
angels
 
behaving self righteously
 
out of anger
 
always accomplishes
 
the work of the devil.

That's true about the devil!

Anger is a necessary tool for survival in a world that will kill you and then eat the cadaver. The devil is in the world not the emotion.

Swimming with turtles must be fantastic, we can swim with seals here in Perth just offshore and dolphins too, such gentle creatures. Hope all is well with you Cloudia.
