Life Is An Ocean was inspired by the life and words of Christopher Reeve. Chris and his wife Dana are now reunited in Heaven, two super heroes in life who did not back down in the fight against ailment and ignorance. In his final interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20 one year before he died, Reeve said: "Being physically paralyzed for eight years, I get pretty impatient with people who are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons. You know, all the reasons people don't become what they could become or don't fulfill their potential, and they're walking around able-bodied, I'm going, 'come on, come on, go for it."

My mind, a kiddy pool
This life
What life?
Avoid sharks
Life is an ocean, swim
