"Like the salmon; humans spend their whole existence……" — Ezell Thompson
"Like the salmon; humans spend their whole existence dealing with the currents of life Some waters are smooth, and some a torrent of activity and rage. Toward the close of the journey, some strive to get back home; knowing ones strength will not always be as strong. Some make it up the river, and some do not. In the end, it is all but a journey of character. Where will yours end up? Will it be a rich story of courage, strength, passion and romance? Having the courage to face vulnerability, even in the worst of conditions is what the strongest of heart do. They are not afraid of who is looking on. They are not concerned with money, ceremony, pride or ego. It is not fear over what may, or may not happen that exist in their mind and heart. Their heart is quickened by the same spirit that has led millions before them. The river still flows.... Who will brave her powerful currents? Only those who have more to live for, then they have to lose....."
