    Chad Boudreaux
    “He sat in disbelief as the Mission Possible continued its rocking motion farther out to nowhere. He could hear the metronomic slap, slap, slap of water against the boat’s hull. He checked his watch, turned his Yankees cap around, and started the engines. Taking one last look around, he turned the bow of the Bertram back toward shore. Ready or not, it was time for Jake Reid to go home.”

    Pablo Neruda
    “Give me, for my life,
    all lives,
    give me all the pain
    of everyone,
    I'm going to turn it into hope.
    Give me
    all the joys,
    even the most secret,
    because otherwise
    how will these things be known?
    I have to tell them,
    give me
    the labors
    of everyday,
    for that's what I sing.”
    ― Pablo Neruda

    Peter B. Forster
    “Just a middle-age man with all the privilege that unasked for gift affords. When in truth it seems, we see suffering as the province of children, mothers, wives and lovers. Broken, struck by the hand of a man’s blind ambition, brutish strength. What of the gentle-man with the soft voice…”
