S amikor már leesett az első hó, itt lesznek még a sötétzöld téli magyalbokrok a tűzpiros termésükkel, meg a feketefenyők, a hamisciprusok és a tiszafák - soha nincs vége semminek.
Mondom nektek, nincsen halál, és nincs téli álom sem. Csak növünk egyik időszakból a másikba. Türelem kell az élethez, mert az élet örök.”

“That night after my parents had kissed me good night and closed my door, I got out of bed and took from my shirt pocket the three seeds I had carried since we left the ant kingdom. Everything else I'd gathered, I realized, had been either given away or given back. Way back on my closet shelf was a tiny woven Indian basket with a cover. My grandfather had given me this when I was only nine years old, but it had always held some sort of secret for me. Into this basket I put the seeds, and hid it again.
"We'll use them," I told Scuro as I got back into bed. "Just wait. We'll use them."
He sighed and rearranged himself on his rug in the corner. I noticed then that the kitten-a shy little creature only recently come to our household and up till now afraid of everything including Scuro-was curled between Scuro's paws, purring in its sleep.”

“In the time I spent re-reading my throwaway novel, I knew that I had to put myself out there. I needed to have my own inner spark of light if I was going to have a future with Kristi.

“End.
How could I call it an end when there was no finite point. We were in a place beyond time with endless skies. And well, we fell. Feeling like a flightless bird trying to reach high. Tired, to know how this ended. But we shall start from the beginning. When you saw red after you fell from heaven in a world where people had stopped believing. Mistreated caring. Hungry for power. Flashed with greed. Lost their sense of humanity.
The beginning was better than this.”
― Prabigyan Aryal, Wild Flames Could Burn Light: A short story

Nor is it a thought I leave behind me, but a heart made sweet with hunger and with thirst.

For to stay, though the hours burn in the night, is to freeze and crystallize and be bound in a mould.”
― Kahlil Gibran

“Walking through the end, the beginning is near. Forever seeing clear, with each step and each breath, the Soul expands and yearns to be a part of creation, to serve you.

Each turn, every flicker of light, it offers such delight. The threshold, the point of no return. Ever so near, there is nothing to fear.

Walk with me, sweet spirit. Standing amongst the flower, ever reflecting the light, embracing the sweet fragrance of the sacred vibrations- turn to your Soul.

Awaken the spirit. An opening has been there all along. Walk forward, trust and embrace the mystery. Know that the beginning is the end, just as the end is the beginning.”
― Ulonda Faye, Sutras of the Heart: Spiritual Poetry to Nourish the Soul
