There are several stories in my head. Stories I want to tell, but once I have written the first third to half of it, I get stuck for one reason or another—so, until completion, they’re neatly stored in a “WIPs” folder that I try to visit now and then. Therefore, when I began writing last […]

Quotes by Caroline Bertaud (?)

“Though my eyes are closed, I’m aware of every single breath I take; of my bare feet sinking into the grass, gripping it gently in a caress; of the soft swaying of my body; of the breeze curling around my fingers as if it were to take my hands and invite me to walk with it for a short while; of my soul opening like a thousand Jacaranda trees in full bloom.”
― Caroline Bertaud, 24 Hours of the Phoenix

“All I could make out was that I was in a private hospital room and that no one was by my bedside. The door to my room was slightly ajar, and the two men talking right outside in the hallway probably thought I was still sleeping. I’m sure they didn’t intend for me to overhear them. Their conversation pierced my ears all the same.”
― Caroline Bertaud, 24 Hours of the Phoenix
