“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out 

your door. You step onto the road, 

and if you don't keep your feet, there's no 

knowing where you might be swept off to.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. 

~Jacques Cousteau

 

we had a spring adventure and drove ourselves to pensacola beach and showed the kids their first ocean. what an adventure it was. and oh what beauty the open sea is. and what wonder and might!

"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is

just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would

be less because of that missing drop."

Mother Teresa
