life long world
Don't you long for something different to happen, something so exciting and new it carries you along with it like a great tide, something that lets your life blaze and burn so the whole world can see it?
strong two knowing
I had grown up. I had learned that being a woman was knowing when to stand firm and when to compromise. I had learned to laugh and weep; I had learned that I was weak as well as strong. I had learned to love. I was no longer a rigid, upright tree that would not flex and bow, even though the gale threatened to snap it in two; I was the willow that bends and shivers and sways, and yet remains strong.
heart glowing lamps
You are... you're like a beating heart. A glowing lamp. I've never met anyone like you before.
heart men wish
You know not, yet, the sort of love that strikes like a lightning bolt; that clutches hold of you by the heart, as irrevocably as death; that becomes the lodestar by which you steer the rest of your life. I would not wish such a love on anyone, man or woman, for it can make your life a paradise, or it can destroy you utterly.
heart together path
Come, dear heart. Lean on me and let us walk this path together.
strong heart eagles
My feet will tread soft as a deer in the forest. My mind will be clear as water from the sacred well. My heart will be strong as a great oak. My spirit will spread an eagle's wings, and fly forth.
dark night light
And as I watched him, I knew that in every dark night there was, somewhere, a small light burning that could never be quenched.
daughter pain betrayal
You will find the way, daughter of the forest. Through grief and pain, through many trials, through betrayal and loss, your feet will walk a straight path.
hands world wanted
The future was in our own hands. If we wanted a world where such things were possible, it was for us to make it.
impossible conquer
With courage and hope, we can conquer our fears and do what we once believed impossible.
sorrow despair found
In all experience, there is something to be learned. In deepest sorrow, wisdom is found. In the well of despair, hope rises.
Nothing comes without a price.
stars sky islands
There is no truth on this island of yours. Rather, there are as many truths as there are stars in the sky; and every one of them different.
daughter children father
My daughter," I said blankly. "I see. Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it took a man, as well as a woman, to make a child. Is this infant's father to be a crab, or a seagull maybe? Or were you planning to shipwreck some likely sailor on my doorstep, so I can make convenient use of him?
