Whirlwind Quotes

“If we dare to dream, we must dare to wake up. When we come to rub our eyes wide open and face up to realness, we can clear our vision and curb a whirlwind of bewilderment that might break our mind apart, once fantasy wrangles with reality and our awareness denies the true colors of facts. ("Behind the frosted glass”)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“A swirl of dust and dirt picked up from the shadows that fell over everything in this grungy corner of the world. The dancing movement was hypnotizing.

“This is a song the Papago Indians like to sing when they go traveling around somewhere:

They have gone,
The birds of the sky.
They have gone,
The animals of the earth,
They have returned
Along their own trail.

On a white rock under the Moon,
On a red rock under the Sun,
On a black rock they sat,
On a yellow rock they rested
And looked back and saw butterflies,
They looked behind them and saw
A whirlwind,
And they watched the whirlwind
And it was a tree
Standing in a cool shadow.

They sit under the tree in the shadow,
They sit under the still tree.
(page 68, The Great Wheat Harvest)”
― George Webb, A Pima Remembers

“I want that burn of the sky
type of thing.
That catching stars, and
cutting clouds and
sipping on sunsets type
of love.
Only that fast car,
passport stamp, loud
music kind of thing.
I just want that red
cheeks, dark nights,
show-me-the-world
type of love.”
― Ariana
