“صديقتى.. أشتاق لذلك الثوب الذى أهدتنى أياه جدتى أشتاق لملمس تلك الغرز التى أفنت عمرها تحيكها أشتاق لحيث أعتادت تجلس بجانب عصافيرها.. أشتاق لحديثها وسكونها.. لضحكتها وغضبها.. أشتاق لمحاولتى تعلم كيف أخيط الغرزة وراء الأخرى مثلها.. وأشتاق لحبها لقطعة القماش التى ترقد بين أصابعها بأمان.. - رسائل فى زمن الحرب”

“Dear Fellowship of Astrology, According to my astrology faith, Venus is the goddess of fertility, feminine energy, creation, and renewal. It is the divine power that blesses wombs with fruitful outcomes. Those who carry a womb are not marked for chaos, nor are they marked for death. They are the bearers of life itself. Yet, I believe that because of their sacred gift and their fertile carriage of creation, they naturally attract those who wish them harm; those who seek to defile their bodies and all that sets them apart. For when the original House of fertility and creation is destroyed, the very foundation of life itself begins to fall. To my fellow worshippers of astrology: let us remember the divine message of Venus which is to honour the womb, to protect creation, and to rise in the radiant strength of the feminine force. This has been the message of the Month of October, but please carry it onwards.”

“She'd become accustomed to letting the garden grow uncontrolled since her father left. And that had suited both Harriet and the garden. They'd both been free to move about as they liked, to behave how it felt natural to behave. Harriet's decision not to prune was why the vines climbed so high along the house this summer, why the roses covered the garden walls and the blackberry brambles spread out as they did, decorating the bricks between the house and the railroad tracks with as many brilliant green leaves as menacing thorns. It was why the plum tree's fruit lay about the place all summer and its flowers bloomed brilliantly in the spring. It was why the bluebells stood in their own self-proliferating patches beneath the trees and rosebushes and wherever they pleased. Why her evergreen hedges were not neatly trimmed and why the hawthorn tree at the front towered over the gate. Her garden was filled with so much fierce beauty, she knew it would not take kindly to being clipped to the quick.”
