“One of the hardest things was knowing that these other people were risking their lives for you when they didn't have to. But they said they were doing it for religious reasons and I shouldn't take it personally. That helped some. They had silent prayers every evening. I found that hard to get used to at first, because it reminded me too much of that shit at the Center. It made me feel sick to my stomach, to tell you the truth. I had to make an effort, tell myself that this was a whole other thing.”

“I left a stone in the sand where a feign once stood. Graceful days and heavy haze as I stood in so much pain. Feet locked, face pushed, shoved - I loved. I did. But I grew, flew and went on through as I realized how you could love someone so. Beauty lies beneath the reality that we never need to be loved, but we like to be loved. We only need to give, become, love, drift and carry through an endless forever. They’ll be here, there - somewhere, and it’s beautiful once you realize the feeling of selflessness.”

“What was once a barren patch of earth is now alive with hummingbirds and butterflies… It didn’t take much money, just time, energy, and the willingness to care.”

“INTO MY OWN One of my wishes is that those dark trees, So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze, Were not, as ’twere, the merest mask of gloom, But stretched away unto the edge of doom. I should not be withheld but that some day Into their vastness I should steal away, Fearless of ever finding open land, Or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand. I do not see why I should e’er turn back, Or those should not set forth upon my track To overtake me, who should miss me here And long to know if still I held them dear. They would not find me changed from him they knew— Only more sure of all I thought was true.”
