“Come here and take off your clothes and with them every single worry you have ever carried. My fingertips on your back will be the last thing you will feel before sleeping and the sound of my smile will be the alarm clock to you morning ears. Come here and take off your clothes and with them the weight of every yesterday that snuck atop your shoulders and declared them home. My whispers will be the soundtrack to your secret dreams and my hand the anchor to the life you will open your eyes to. Come here and take off your clothes.” FeelsHomeDreamHandsEyeLastsSexSoundSleepSecretMorningWorryClothesEarsWeightYesterdayShouldersClockDirtyAlarmsAnchorsSoundtracksFingertipsMy SmileDirty TalkAlarm ClocksBefore Sleeping Book:Chasers of the Light Source: Chasers of the Light
“He would have told her - he would have said, it matters not if you are here or there, for I see you before me every moment. I see you in the light of the water, in the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks, I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night. You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are - you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath.” IfsFirstsHeartSaidMatterMomentsLightLastsYoungNightVoiceWaterSleepTreeBloodCryWindMy HeartSpringShadowBreathsBonesWakingSighVeinsOaksOwlSwayingBefore Sleeping Book:Daughter of the Forest: A Sevenwaters Novel 1 Source: Daughter of the Forest: A Sevenwaters Novel 1

“It had been a good day, all things considered. I had managed rather well on my own. I opened Grandfather's Bible. This is what it would be like when I had my own shop, or when I traveled abroad. I would always read before sleeping. One day, I'd be so rich I would have a library full of novel to choose from. But I would always end the evening with a Bible passage.” WellsEndsWould BeMy OwnSleepNovelRichOne DayAll ThingsLibraryEveningShopsPassagesGrandfatherTraveledGood DayBefore Sleeping Author:Laurie Halse Anderson
“If you put on shoes that are too tight and walk out across an empty plain, you will not feel the freedom of the place unless you take off your shoes. Your shoe-constriction has you confined. At night before sleeping you take off the tight shoes, and your soul releases into a place it knows. Dreams glide deeper.” IfsKnowsFeelsSoulDreamNightFreedomSleepWalksEmptyShoesDeeperReleaseYour SoulConfinedBefore Sleeping Author:Rumi
