Miles David Moore
DEPARTURES AND ARRIVALSRather than “living in the present tense,” I live “in departure,” I try to live as if this were my actual last day on earth (which it very well could be), and I would like to harbor no regrets if I don’t wake up in the morning. Michael Bettencourt

David Wiley
