“JAMIE'S SONG 'UN-BROKE': Un-broke and, All is well. I did not expect that. Unspoken, All I felt. I should not have done that. But now that is all behind me. Something else, something more defines me. I could be scattered all over the world again, And I would still be me. Find my way back here again. Though I don’t think that could happen, I feel so unbreakable, Now that I am un-broke. Like the wind, I floated. I could not change one thing. Like the trees, I stood there. Branches swayed bare in Spring. My darkest days are behind me. Blinding sun and stars always find me. I could be shattered into the abyss again, But I would still be free. Climb out of the hole again. I’ll see the skies that never darken. I know I’m unbreakable, Now that I am un-broke.”

A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song at the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker. Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower. Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud, it does not allow the dirt that surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty.”

Nothing like a song. Just a descending third. Just a soothing sound. Then one day she was walking me around the camp, and she heard me echo it back to her. Two octaves higher. A tiny piping third. She said it was my first song. We sang it back and forth to each other. For years."I choked and clenched my teeth. "You can say it,"Auri said softly."It's okay if you say it." "I'm never going to see her again,"I choked out. Then I began to cry in earnest. "It's okay,"Auri said softly."I'm here. You're safe.”

“And Esme remembered in a rush--the wolfsong, the haunting, lyrical spirals of it in the dawn quiet and the feeling of euphoria that had attended it. Even in recollection the howling uplifted her like the crescendo at the end of a symphony and made her heartbeat quicken.”
