  “The way to God lies through love of people.” – St. Maria of Paris

A Cheetah and Her Dad

Go, fly, swim, bound descend, cross, love the unknown, love the uncertain, leave yourself, shrug off the old lies, dare what you don’t dare, it is there that you will take pleasure . . . and rejoice, in the terror, follow it where you’re afraid to go, go ahead, take the plunge, you’re on the right trail.”
― Hélène Cixous

Weekend Vibes

         “At the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit. And that center is really everywhere. It is within each of us.”
— Black Elk

Wilder and Ben

“Though I play at the edges of knowing,
truly I know
our part is not knowing,
but looking, and touching, and loving”
― Mary Oliver

Skating Party

“They stay in my mind, these beautiful people,
or anyway beautiful people to me, of which
there are so many. You, and you, and you,
whom I had the fortune to meet, or maybe
missed. Love, love, love, it was the
core of my life, from which, of course, comes
the word for the heart. And, oh, have I mentioned
that some of them were men and some were women
and some — now carry my revelation with you —
were trees. Or places. Or music flying above
the names of their makers. Or clouds, or the sun
which was the first, and the best, the most
loyal for certain, who looked so faithfully into
my eyes, every morning. So I imagine
such love of the world — its fervency, its shining, its
innocence and hunger to give of itself — I imagine
this is how it began.”
― Mary Oliver

Daddy’s Arms

“We are the the night ocean filled with glints of light. We are the space between the fish and the moon, while we sit here together.”
― Rumi

Ben’s Baby Girl

“There is a place born of silence
A place where the whispers of the heart arise.
There is a place where voices sing your beauty
A place where every breath
carves your image
in my soul.”
― Rumi

Flat Bread

“Reason is no match for desire: when desire is purely and powerfully felt, it becomes a kind of reason of its own.”
― Eleanor Catton

Ink

“Raindrops are my only reminder that clouds have a heartbeat. That I have one, too.” 
― Tahereh Mafi

5th Street

“I’ll figure out how to be truer: to let people go if they need to be let go of, and to hold on tight if that’s what’s called for. I will pay attention, so I can cross each human heart that comes across my path, cross it as true as I can.”
―Laura Prichett
