Aspirations Quote by Jeffrey A. White
““Breaking from the universe, like waves spilling, plunging and surging against a shore, we crash with life and vigor, scrape and scour, spit beaches and eat land, polish stone, glass and driftwood of splintered dreams, uncover and bury bleached bones of ambitions and aspirations, carve grottoes of intentions and regrets and then slip back into the deep from whence we came and may return again.””
