“The words in my head grew quiet for a moment; twenty-six characters funneling toward oblivion, back to whence they came. Peace seeking; internal light finding. The end-of-story calm of a bronzed fall evening. If I could write a letter to you, I’d tell you that you’ll be in my flower garden of perennials forever.”
― Naomi Falk, The Surrender of Man
