“Take a step, breathe in the world, give it out again in story, poem, song, art.”

“Only a woman could make so much out of so little. Give them a single fact and they'd fashion it into a story before taking a single breath.”

“There are no happy endings... There are no endings, happy or otherwise. We all have our own stories which are just part of the one Story that binds both this world and Faerie. Sometimes we step into each others stories - perhaps just for a few minutes, perhaps for years - and then we step out of them again. But all the while, the Story just goes on.”

“Words are gifts that give to us all. Packaged songs and poems waiting to be unwrapped.”

“Truly fine poetry must be read aloud. A good poem does not allow itself to be read in a low voice or silently. If we can read it silently, it is not a valid poem: a poem demands pronunciation. Poetry always remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art. It remembers that it was first song.”

“all thats lost again but im not giving in i will not bow i will not break i will shut the world away i will not fall i will not fade i will take ur breath away”
