SYNOPSIS
Sea of Movement is an elegant journey into freedom, power, and the search for unconditional love. The story begins when Nathan Jansen and Billy Windsor, in the midst of a nautical adventure, meet the charming Nikki Thomsen while surfing off the coast of New Zealand. Nikki, longing to escape past trauma and see the world, is thrown into a stimulating ride of independence and self-gratification. But when she chooses between the two friends, the days of simple pleasure are left behind. Her decision leads to heightened tension and a series of self-destructive events that will shatter each of their lives. It's a multi-cultural voyage that takes readers into the intoxicating waters of the South Pacific, through the shattered heart of Bangladesh, and along the rugged interior of Indonesia. With moments of spectacular action, calm reflection, and passionate love, readers will gain a powerful perspective of human emotion.

* REVIEWS FOR "THE ONE" *
"I just finished reading The One. I wish I could shake your hand."
"Whether you grew up in the 1970's in the Midwest, or in another decade and another part of the country, Jeff Kozlowski's book, "The One", appeals to all of us who have ever been a young teenager. It's a powerful story about teenage uncertainty and angst, and the emotional upheaval we all go through when we are making our choices between being cool, supporting those that love us, or being true to ourselves. Kozlowski does not lecture and does not write all about happy endings. He writes about truth; the very real and colorful story of a fifteen year old boy going through "the process". He reminds us all just how difficult, but formative, this time was in our lives and will be in those of our children. Whether you read this novel through the eyes of a young man or a young woman, you will recognize yourself within its pages."
“The One” reveals a raw portrayal about the struggles we all face transitioning through adolescence. Jeff Kozlowski’s remarkable ability pushes the conventionality of adolescent storytelling creating authentic characters that reverberate the emotional chord of the reader."
"The One is a beautiful book about relationships and how blind we can sometimes be at the simplicity of life. Beauty is right in front of us."
"I learned a lot from this book that can help me in the real world. I recommend that all teenagers read this story because it can perhaps give them insight on their own life and help them through problems they have."
"The book made me never want to put it down. The book was so descriptive and flowed so well I felt like I was actually there."
"The descriptive words were so well used that I could picture the setting in my head and imagine I was there. This book was one of the best I have ever read."
"The One was about letting the book get to the reader with a story of morals and mistakes and how one event can affect you for a lifetime."

I'd like to meet:

Myspace has been a wonderful platform for meeting some of the most remarkable people I have met thus far in my life. Visit my top eight to meet some of these fantastic people. Additionally, I greatly enjoy meeting people who have a story to share, an idea to cultivate, a desire to change the world for the better, an interest in learning, a helping hand to lend, a kind heart, an ability to see others perspectives, teachers of any kind, artists who light the way during dark times with their imaginations, and anyone who holds the hope of even better days to come.

* ON MY WRITING FROM MYSPACE FRIENDS *

"Jeff's poem, no matter your religion or lack there of, is one that can strike a chord of familiarity with all people. Jeff takes us out of our busy personal lives and unites us with the one thing we all have in common, our planet, our galaxy, our universe. Jeff doesn't tell us WHAT to think, but rather he gives us the opportunity to think, and maybe more importantly, to wonder."

"You are a very talented and deep person, that savors life. It reminds me of the stop and smell the roses refrain. It's refreshing and inspirational."

"Truly incredible emotions and feelings here. Expressed with a sense of potency that leaves me wanting more."

"Wow! I sat down and started reading and I couldnt stop! It is one of those stories you cant wait to read the end of and yet are disappointed that it does end!"

*LIFE QUOTES*
"The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving."
Albert Einstein
"The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible."
Albert Einstein
"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."
Albert Einsten
"Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning."
Mahatma Gandhi
"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."
William Shakespeare
"How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world."
William Shakespeare
"Anything I've done up till May 27th 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life."
Johnny Depp
"If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?"
Stephen Levine
"Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are."
Don Miguel Ruiz
"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."
Sir Winston Churchill
"Your greatness is measured by your kindness; your education and intellect by your modesty; your ignorance is betrayed by your suspicions and prejudices, and your real caliber is measured by the consideration and tolerance you have for others."
William J. H. Boetcker
"In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed."
Sid Caesar
"We are each responsible for our lives and, more important, the thoughts that create them. If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think."
Oprah Winfrey
"One can never consent to creep When one feels an impulse to soar."
Helen Keller
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."
Buddha
"One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star."
Nietzsche
"Einstein was right, God does not roll the dice with the universe. Pure chance alone can not guide the simple perfection of physical and spiritual affinity. The universe, in my mind, is not a random stream of mistake and consequence, but a balanced composition of paradox, matter, spirit, and soul."
