Randall
Angie tried not to think much about politics. It didn't seem to matter who was in power. Nothing got better in the besieged breathtaking world that she cared about. The Everglades would never be the Lush unbroken river it once was the shallows of Florida Bay would never be as pure and sparkling with fish. The bleach dying reefs of the keys would never fully blend back to life. Being overrun and exploited was the historical fate of places. So rare and beautiful... All the treasured wilderness that had been sacrificed at the altar of growth was gone for all time. More more disappeared everyday. Nothing ever changed except the speed of destruction and only because there were fewer pristine pieces to sell off, carve up and pave.

"all I know is that I found out heaven was real first. I'd hang back in the waiting room and save you a seat"
"Time does that I suppose. When you spend so much of it looking forward to the next thing, it can easily slip out from under you"
"I think it's arrogant to think the stars and moon can effect the tides but not have an effect on me. Some things are just more powerful than we are."
"I showed you that I didn't need a romantic partner in life because I knew it was the safest bet, relying on myself and no one else. But even I had to ask for help from people sometimes... And no I didn't lack for a full life without romance but I had my heart broken one too many times and had all my decisions based on fear of it again"
