A fish that is afraid of drowning in a river is ignorant of its gifts.

A diamond earns its sparkle from the pressure it endures.

A determined seed cannot be hidden from the world, not even by dirt.

Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.

The nonsense that charms is close to sense.

The first song I wrote was "Look Both Ways Before You Cross" from Imaginaryland. I started the song by singing a bass line, "hoo hoo hoo hoo."
