“We can stretch our sounds so that they
reach the very tops of our tallest trees and down to the secret-filled earth and so that they tangle in the brambles and skim across the pond because this world is ours and we are alone.

Just us.

A pocket of people in a pocket of a world that's
small as a marble. We are tiny and we are everything and we are wild.”
― Katya Balen, October, October

“I think that home is a thousand different things that shift and change and stay the same. It's where you're from and where you're longing for and where you love and where you belong and where you're coming back to and sometimes it's everything and it's everywhere.”
― Katya Balen, Ghostlines: A summer adventure to remember forever
