Quotes by Melanie Sumrow (?)

“Maybe instead of concentrating on the giant hole that seems too deep and wide, we can look for the bridge instead.

It may take us a long time to find it. It may not. But, with some work, we may be able to find our way back home." -Gentry”
― Melanie Sumrow, The Prophet Calls
