Sssh little one...I've got you.

You're safe with me, I promise.

When you get scared, look me in the eyes.

I'm not going anywhere.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.

Stars can't shine without the darkness.

Born and raised in the north, thrown in the south

Born to fish, forced to work

I love the ocean: its calming waves and brutal rays warm the shifting sands

which envelope my troubles and send them away like a glass bottle with a message.
