I feel we are all islands - in a common sea
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea...
The loneliness you get by the sea is personal and alive. It doesn't subdue you and make you feel abject. It's stimulating loneliness...
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Gift from the Sea"
My dear friend George...thank you for all the fond memories of diving together under our Beloved sea...I am so sad you have left and I did not get another chance to visit you in Key West... when I am by the sea you will always be with me in spirit ...in love. peace. and friendship...June (seaofsolitude)
George was a wonderful part of our Key West Community. Our lives are diminished by his passing.
George your "guardian Angel" misses you. You were a big part of our lives these past years. We LOVE you.
Pat and John Chamberlin
