“Could a scar be like the rings of a tree, reopened with each emotional season?”
“Trees, for example, carry the memory of rainfall. In their rings we read ancient weather—storms, sunlight, and temperatures, the growing seasons of centuries. A forest shares a history, which each tree remembers even after it has been felled.”
“I was emotionally scarred we could not get it away”
“These are the seasons of emotion,and like the winds, they rise and fall.”
“The defects of the mind arelike the wounds of the body. Whatever care we take to heal them the scars ever remain, and there is always danger of their reopening.”
“Is he all scarred now?”“Magic gets rid of most physical scars, but I like to think I scarred him emotionally.”
