“...A madeleine moment - a sound, a scent can incant her presence...”

“...yes, I am your priest, your magician, your lover - I make charms to incant your presence...”

“...I hear the sounds of melting snow outside my window every night and with the first faint scent of spring, I remember life exists...”

“...when I was a kid, Toronto streets were deserted and quiet on Sundays, except for the sound of church bells I stood on the sidewalk one December listening to the Christmas bells - I've never forgotten that moment...”

“...you do violence with your words if you force them - art is given - the words received, moment by moment from unseen hands - call it a Muse ...”

“...I'm constantly agitated, restless - I work moments like worry beads until I see your face...”

“...before you, life was desolate - the past hardly worth remembering - and now, each moment a keepsake I can't throw away ...”
