Quote of the Day:

"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too
greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not
only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience,
patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and
faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a
beach--waiting for a gift from the sea."
-- Anne Morrow
