I hope it will be said we taught them to stand tall & proud, even in the face of history & the future was made whole for us all, one child at a time.

This a a giant block of whatever is most difficult for you to carry & trust me on this, you'll carry it more times than you can count until you decide that's exactly what you want to do most & then it won't weigh a thing anymore

Your job is to focus on my personal happiness, she said, & I've got big plans, so break time is over.

If there is any secret to this life I live, this is it: the sound of what cannot be seen sings within everything that can. & there is nothing more to it than that.

We're here to end it, I said & she said, No, we're here to begin it & then she turned & opened her arms & everywhere I could see, there were people, like bright birds, calling with a thousand voices & suddenly I understood. Here is where it begins. With all of us, together giving...

Is willing to accept that she creates her own reality except for some of the parts where she can't help but wonder what the hell she was thinking

She tapped her finger & nothing happened & she thought she had lost her magic but it had only changed & it took her awhile to figure it out.

Traveling as fast in one direction as she can go before she has second thoughts & goes back to doing the same old stuff.

In those days, we finally chose to walk like giants & there may be many things we forget in the days to come, but this will not be one of them.

I've been feeling like the time is coming when I'm going to have to balance the scales, she told me, & now I wish I'd waited on the whole cook's kitchen thing. Get this print and a perfect frame for $50.00.

If you kill your brother, she said, you're going to get a huge timeout.

I carry you with me into the world, into the rain & the words that dance between people & for me, it will always be this way, walking in the light remembering being alive together.** Sculpture also available as special order **

Every night for a hundred years the angel of dreams came to the town & splashed the walls with bright colors that stayed until the first light of day.

We lay there and looked up at the night sky and she told me about stars called blue squares and red swirls and I told her I'd never heard of them. Of course not, she said, the really important stuff they never tell you. You have to imagine it on your own.

I spent a long time trying to find my center until I looked closely one night and found it had wheels and moved easily in the slightest breeze, so now I spend less time sitting and more time sailing.

I was waiting for such a long time, she said. I thought you forgot. It's hard to forget I said, when there is such an empty space when you are gone.
