Quotes 

• Bob : One of the things I love most about this life is that there's no final goodbye. You know, I've met hundreds of people out here and I don't ever say a final goodbye. I always just say, "I'll see you down the road." And I do. And whether it's a month, or a year, or sometimes years, I see them again.

• Bob : I think of an analogy as a work horse. The work horse that is willing to work itself to death, and then be put out to pasture. And that's what happens to so many of us. If society was throwing us away and sending us as the work horse out to the pasture, we work horses have to gather together and take care of each other. And that's what this is all about. The way I see it is that the Titanic is sinking and economic times are changing. And so my goal is to get the lifeboats out and get as many people into the lifeboats as I can.

• Bob : I can look down the road and I can be *certain* in my heart that I'll see my son again. You'll see Bo again. And you can remember your lives together then.

• Bob : I can't imagine what you're going through, the loss of your husband, and the loss of your whole town, and friends, and village, and that kind of... kind of loss is never easy. And I wish I had an easy answer for you. But I think you've come to the right place to find an answer. I think that... I think connecting to nature and... and to a real true community and tribe, will make all the difference for you. I hope so.
