BEN MURPHY: WHERE IS LOVE?
Tiger Beat Spectacular, December 1971

Love is at the ocean. It's the perfect place to think about love, or to be with someone that you love. The waves seem to carry messages to me--they supply me with the answers to problems that plague my mind. The ocean helps me think things out, and its peacefulness and beauty have the power to bring thoughts of love to my mind.

If I'm not there to solve a problem or think about love, then I will be there with someone special. We will probably be taking a long walk along the shore, occasionally letting the waves cover our bare feet. We'll be making crazy footprints in the sand, and then we'll rest at the end of the pier, just looking out at what appears to be an ocean that has no end.
