painting by Jessica Ives

Water is life’s mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi  

Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim. 
Tyler Knott Gregson
