“I have no desire to make you "tough" or "street", perhaps because any "toughness" I garnered came reluctantly. I think I was always, somehow, aware of the price.”

“Listen to the trees as they sway in the wind.

Their leaves are telling secrets. Their bark sings songs of olden days as it grows around the trunks. And their roots give names to all things.

Their language has been lost.

But not the gestures.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.”

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

in the dirt, abstracted, holding his green trowel.

This is how he gardens: fifteen minutes of intense effort,

fifteen minutes of ecstatic contemplation.”

“We dare not talk of the darkness for fear it will infect us.

We dare not talk of the fire, for fear it will destroy us.

And so we live in the half-light,

Like our mothers before us.

Come to the fire,

Feel it warm your skin.

Come to the fire,

Feel it burn in your belly,

Shine out through your eyes.

Come dance in the fire,

Let it fuel your prayers.”

- Lucy H. Pearce, Burning Woman

“you have known her for so long

you think you know her

but she hides herself

behind her smile

the right one can hear the

pain in the sound of her

laughter

the real one can feel the

crave for someone to touch

her soul without touching her

if she hasn't cried her heart out

before you

don't say you know her”

“A mother's body remembers her babies-the folds of soft flesh, the softly furred scalp against her nose. Each child has it's own entreaties to body and soul.”
