“It is useless to meet revenge with revenge; it will heal nothing.”

I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.

I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. And through the air, I am he that walks unseen.

There are no safe paths in this part of the world. Remember you are over the Edge of the Wild now, and in for all sorts of fun wherever you go.

She spills the oceans of words and feelings on the pages of earth, transforming it into the green blooming planet.

The pearls on her wrist, giving out the green light of emerald nurturing, sparks the flame of life in his eyes.

Poetry is a feeling, a feeling of healing.

I am more stretch marks than the skin, more growth than shame.

Some memories never leave you, some moments never fade away, sometimes the trauma is persistent even if all your scars have healed.

To be healed by sunlight is the most divine miracle of all.

When you honor your emotions you are honoring your healing and growth.
