    “With the music of our singing in the background, I looked at the church candles and thought about the surreal connection between images and memory.

    “The cawing of a big, black crow awoke me early the next morning, but I remained still, pretending to be asleep. I didn’t want to see Ibrahim in the light of day, and I didn’t want to make more small talk. I felt hunger pains through the remnants of champagne and cognac from the night before. I wondered why I hadn’t eaten more, feeling silly about having been so insecure about my culinary etiquette.

    Numb and void of emotion, I remained in a state of suspended animation reliving the events of our night of passion. The night before, I pictured silhouettes of angels dancing upon the ceiling in the moonlight, not disconnected bodies lying beneath the covers at a loss for words.”
    Samantha Hart, Blind Pony: As True A Story As I Can Tell

    Wendy E. Slater
    “Together let us hold the intention that all aspects of this living planet come together in love, acceptance, and celebration of both our diversities and commonalities. Let us possess the common purpose that we heal from our hearts into compassion and forgiveness for ourselves. Together let us own the belief that we will no longer unite with blame and judgement, but come to accept that we all carry the same wounds. In acknowledging this, the hope is for the whole planet in its jubilant diversity to be healed from any and all woundings so that we come together on equal footing, living in peace and joy and setting the tone for a future of harmony within and on this planet.
    Peace to all and healing to all.”
    Wendy E. Slater, Of the Flame, Poems - Volume 15

    Michael Ende
    “Ich möchte wissen", sagte er vor sich hin, "was eigentlich in einem Buch los ist, solang es zu ist. Natürlich sind nur Buchstaben drin, die auf Papier gedruckt sind, aber trotzdem - irgendwas muss doch los sein, denn wenn ich es aufschlage, dann ist da auf einmal eine ganze Geschichte. Da sind Personen, die ich noch nicht kenne und es gibt alle möglichen Abenteuer und Taten und Kämpfe - und manchmal ereignen sich Meeresstürme, oder man kommt in fremde Länder und Städte. Das ist doch alles irgendwie drin im Buch. Man muss es lesen, damit man's erlebt, das ist klar. Aber drin ist es schon vorher. Ich möcht wissen, wie?”
    Michael Ende

    Dave Pelzer, A Child Called "It"
