SRV, as the anniversary of your death approaches, a big silence is realized as those of us who miss you ponder "Life Without You"....
This is why I'm gonna learn. Fender American Standard Strat...here I come. :)
The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future. ~Marya Mannes, More in Anger, 1958
Diving to SAVE the Gentle Giant...."diving with WhaleSharks is the most exciting marine life interaction experience in the world".
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Up to his nest again,
I shall not live in vain
- Emily Dickinson

Knowledge is key. Time is critical. Dead is forever.
Who I'd like to meet:
Dr. Sylvia Earle, Jean-Michel & Francine Cousteau
"Going into the ocean is like diving into the history of life on Earth" -- Sylvia Earle
"...It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have
salt in our blood, our sweat, and in our tears.
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back
to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it,
we are going back from whence we came." -- JFK
