01UndatedMissing what most of the time? The babbling faceless agora, the fame, the parties, the pop of flash bulbs? The lovers, the gaiety, the champagne? The solitude carved out of celebrity, poring over charts by a single lamp on a wide desk in a venerable hotel? Room service, coffee before dawn? The company of one friend, two? The choice: All of it or not? Some or none? Now, not now, maybe later?Peter Heller / quote ↗
02UndatedHappiness was not a word that seemed to apply anymore, when she had lost so many close to her. There was a contentment that felt deeper, that acknowledged and accepted the quieter offerings of small joys-- of love and occasional peace in a life that was full of pain.Peter Heller / quote ↗

04UndatedRock rock. Back and forth. Lull. Push. Release. Swing back. The stars, the leaves, even the sound of the creek throbbing back and forth. Of a boat. Of a hammock. Of a child's swing. Of a womb. Back and forth. Rock rock. Smell of cold current, of stone, manure, blossom. Sleep.Peter Heller / quote ↗
05UndatedSurfing is a life path. You have to really commit... You have to let go and have faith that it's gonna work out when you take off.Peter Heller / quote ↗
07UndatedA lot of my nonfiction is very strong environmental stories - I was the first guy to write about the dolphin killings in Japan.Peter Heller / quote ↗
