‘He showed me a little thing, the size of a hazelnut, lying in the palm of my hand. It was as round as a ball. I looked thereon with the eye of my understanding, and though what may this be?’ And it was answered plainly thus, ‘It is all that is made’
~ Julian of Norwich

There is nothing you can see that is not a flower;
There is nothing you can think that is not the moon.

A favorite quote...

I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple;
garlands from window to window;
golden chains from star to star,
and I dance.

-- Arthur Rimbaud

Endings and beginnings...

"Endings are foretold in beginnings, young human," Moriana said, "and the seeds of destruction are sown at creation."  The dragoness smiled, a toothy sight.  "But if you're fortunate, you're able to come around again to start anew."

"Is it always the same, honored Moriana?" I asked, my child's voice not yet broken by adolescence.  I hopped from dragon print to dragon print, pressed deep in the leaf mold.  "The same ending and beginning?"

"For some," the dragoness admitted.  "But for others, it is the spiraling song of the lark ascending."

-- Covenants, by Lorna Freeman
