“Pink electricity snakes out from her fingertips, jumping from the guitar and sending rainbow-hued sparks floating to the ceiling. She leans her hand to the strings and feels the chunky, percussive roar of the palm mute rumble through the amps. It gnaws at her bones, shakes her blood in her veins like some kind of fantastic, terrible cocktail of sound and iron, and she is so desperately happy.”

“Four out of five,” Mamaw says. Her body clicks and groans as she shuffles to the edge of the porch. “How much time do you think I have?”
Jude flinches.
“Four out of five,” Maya agrees. “You’ll never outrun your bones like this.”

“Tierratitan, Sonnet
I only have one advice for you,
own your life, from head to toe -
unapologetically alive and original,
not a carbon copy, with second hand woe.
Civilization is not a conjuring trick,
Civilization is a long labor of life.
You don't figure out everything overnight,
You figure out things over time.
Sweet dreams are made of sweat-n-dare.
Sweat makes it sweet, dare brings it true.
Sweet society is made of reason-n-care,
When I'm your shelter, my shelter is you.
I be your vision, you be my mission.
Divided we drown, together, Tierratitan.”

“There is a big, beautiful purpose to your life, and in my experience, logic, and science are not the keys to finding it. When we ignore intuition for whatever reasons, we are neglecting our soulful purpose. We sabotage any chances we have to feel the calming contentment that comes from walking our own unique path. We dismiss all the abundant possibilities we have to create a life that will lead to us feeling absolutely alive in each moment.”
