“The heart that loves must one day grieve. Love and grief are the Goddess's twined gifts. Let the pain in, let it open your heart to compassion. Let me help you bear your grief and then may your heart ease and open to greater love. May the love that flows eternally through the universe embrace and comfort you. p.85”

“But I also meant that loving someone really opening your heart to them is just asking to have your heart smashed and handed back to you in little pieces.”

“Anytime you feel love for anything, be it stone, tree, lover, or child, you are touched by the Goddess's magick...”

“Please, ground, just open up and let me fall into an endless crevasse till I hit the center of the earth and combust. Please. Is that too much to ask?”

“Please, please be some sex-starved nutcase who wants to kidnap me and make me your love slave, I begged silently.”

“The Goddess teaches us that every ending is also a beginning. May there be rebirth from this death.”

“Everything is fine and bright. Day must follow every night. My power keeps me safe from harm. The Goddess holds me in her arms.”
