“Everybody has a little bit of the sun and moon in them. Everybody has a little bit of man, woman, and animal in them. Darks and lights in them. Everyone is part of a connected cosmic system. Part earth and sea, wind and fire, with some salt and dust swimming in them. We have a universe within ourselves that mimics the universe outside. None of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right. No one. No one exists without polarities. Everybody has good and bad forces working with them, against them, and within them.

Shadows follow, joyful, laughing sprites.

The tree is rich with potential wonder.

All it needs is a glance from you to come alive.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

― Sol Luckman, Snooze: A Story of Awakening

― Charlotte Silver, Charlotte Au Chocolat: Memories of a Restaurant Girlhood

“Lights"
Lights of churches, monasteries,
Christmas trees, and magnificent mosques
The dim lights inside warm houses
in all the foreign cities where I wandered alone
The far away lights of cars driving over bridges
I watched from the windows of boring hotels
on clear moonlit nights
Candle lights and lanterns
Lights of little shops in ancient and forgotten alleys
Lights of ships sailing to places I will never get to see
The lamp post lights on dark rainy winter nights
The remote lighthouses and lights of unknown fishermen
The glittering lights I have seen in the eyes of kind strangers
in cities tourists never go to
All these lights I once loved that break me now
as they remind me of the magical light
that was extinguished in your eyes �

The snow that bled emptiness,
While singing mercy on each star
That covered the path set high.

Freedom crosses horizons,
Freeing the northern lights
From compasses around the world.”
