"Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans." ••Jacques Yves Cousteau

 “I do believe in an everyday sort of magic -- the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone.”

― Charles de Lint
