To The Shore Once More: A Portrait Of The Jersey Shore; Prose, Poetry, and Works Of Art

"Standing on the shore at night, listening to the hollow boom and hiss of the waves, I stared at the legion of stars processioning the sky. Absorbed by the immensity of space and time, I was struck by the preciousness of life in all its varied forms and exalted in being part of that procession." --from "To The Shore Once More: Point Pleasant Beach"
