“I’m not sure. But there’s something about the darkness, the stillness of this hour, I think, that creates a language of its own.

“You must find the magic that warms your skin in winter, the magic that perceives what cannot be seen, the magic that curls in your gut with fierce power and will not let you give up, no matter how long or cold the days.”
