“Library day was the worst day for a blind person who loved to read. I couldn't ever browse bookshelves, take volumes down and flip through the pages. On Library Day, when other kids walked down the aisles in groups, chattering about books in buzzing whispers, I wandered away to the unpopulated corners or tagged far enough behind a couple kids so they wouldn't notice me.”

“A strip of red sky lay against a sliver of silver lake as though fire danced on the water. I wanted to capture the moment and keep it alive, touching my head to the glass to bring it closer. Until now I had taken the train for granted, dismissing it as just another long-distance service to endure. But I saw now that this train carved up the earth, shining a light into its darkest corners. It unlocked the land and threw open the skies, revealing forests tall and fearful, the night gold and bright. *”

“To love makes one solitary.”
