Quote by Rivers Solomon

“...she was letting the crisis invigorate her. She was like Vern in that way, more at home in conflict than in peace. Tragedy sharpened you. It was the quickest way to turn yourself into an edge.”

“War is probably the oldest human endeavor, and its face of battle is constantly changing, with new challenges prompting counterresponses. Its novel and unforeseen dangers can never be underestimated. If the twenty-first-century nations do not tolerate the enslavement of the defeated, they certainly promiscuously warn about incinerating them with nuclear weapons.”

“I stretch out to touch Nyame's muzzle eagerly, and the energy doesn't withdraw. I let her know she's going to be alone again. But then I see pictures of shamans in trances and dancers in drum circles and children sleeping and I know she's never been alone. She's never NEEDED us. There have always been those who transcend, and traversing is just one way to walk between worlds. I don't think she'll miss me, that's too limited a way of thinking, but she makes me feel like she's noticed me, and I am grateful for that too.”

“She woke up from a bad dream, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. The room was dimly lit by the early morning light seeping through the curtains. As she sat up, rubbing her eyes, she reached for her phone to call him. "Sorry for bothering you in your dream," he whispered softly, his voice a gentle balm to her frazzled nerves. Her fear slowly dissipated. "How did you know?" she asked, her voice barely more than a whisper. He gave a small, knowing smile. "I could sense it in your voice. I just wanted to let you know I'm here." She nodded, feeling the warmth of his love wrap around her like a protective shield. "Thank you," she murmured, lying back down and letting the comfort of his words soothe her back into a peaceful sleep.”
