“A silver lantern sat before Eanrin, there in the depths of the pit. It was small and delicately wrought, and in its heart glowed a light more potent, more beautiful, more colorful than starlight.
Eanrin recognized it at once: Akilun's lantern, the fabled Asha. A gift from beyond the Final Water, crafted in the realm of the Farthest Shore. Akilun himself had died grasping it in his hands.
"And so I might die," Eanrin whispered. "So I might lose myself.”

“To start, planters large enough to host quick growing shrubbery work best on terraces but think about how much light your outside space receives.

Once established, greenery should also provide an extra layer of shelter to protect when you're sitting outside with a morning coffee.
Light sources are the final, crucial addition to coorie gardens - as they are in most ideas relating to the concept.
If your outside space has a pagoda or loggia, roof-hung lighting creates a beguiling grotto effect.”

“A train thunders by late at night, you gaze idly at the dark rushing mass, you see a patch of light and within that patch of light, a face; in a wink of time it is gone - but, having seen it, you know it will never be gone, you know you will see that face in your dreams perhaps forever. Such is the insubstantial stuff of which fiction - or madness - is made.”

“In this season of growing darkness, I wonder how we as Christians choose to publicize the miracle we proclaim. If it is not leading to greater illumination—to a greater light—we might want to rethink how we’re doing it. How can we name the miracle, not as a simple fix, but as an abiding truth?”
