Beneath the surface Quote by Ash Sweeney
“Time is an illusion. Look at mother nature. The wind blows when it pleases and the trees grow when they see fit to do so. Time is something man has created to impose order on the chaos that is life. It's futile. We will be born when something new is needed, we will live by the chaos we fail to control and we will die when we must make way for change. I, for one, am prepared to embrace the tide and see what I can find beneath the surface when I release my hold on time get lost in living.”
