“We must take advantage of those moments of wonder--
those moments that stir up the creative juices,
that foster belief and faith--
to re-imagine what is possible
in ourselves,
in our lives,
in our world.
And then we must make use
of all that beautiful renewed energy,
all that hope and determination--
to move,
to effect change.”
“I'd never known a change that wasn't monstrous.”

“That is the madness of it. Every day is amber, and she is the fly trapped inside. No way to think in days or weeks when she lives in moments. Time begins to lose its meaning - and yet, she has not lost track of time. She cannot seem to misplace it (no matter how she tries) and so Addie knows what month it is, what day, what night, and so she knows it has been a year.
A year since she ran from her own wedding.
A year since she fled from the woods.
A year since she sold her soul for this. For freedom. For time.
A year, and she has spent it leaning the boundaries of this new life.”

the pink nectars of spring,
summer's ripest green,
and the speckled reds of fall,
inviting impermanence into us all.”

“I think, after what I just went through," he said eventually, "the best thing I can say to you is that we are not only one thing forever. We're allowed to change at any point in our lives. We don't have to stick to a label we give ourselves. So, you can be bi or pan or a lesbian or queer, and tomorrow you may have a better sense of who you are, or tomorrow you can be a big ole queer mess and figure it out fifty years from now.”
“Things change and people change. It is, at the same time, the most tragic and miraculous verity about humankind.”
