I didn't think what we had could get to this, even if you gave it a thousand years.

Tom Robbins

We say we are earthlings, not waterlings. Our blood is closer to seawater than our bones to soil, but thats no matter. The sea is the cradle we all rocked out of, but its to dust that we go.

Alienation is a disease of the unsoiled.
