“The best word shakers were the ones who understood the true power of words. They were the ones who could climb the highest. One such word shaker was a small, skinny girl. She was renowned as the best word shaker of her region because she knew how powerless a person could be WITHOUT words.”

“Everyone has an angel, a guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day old man, next day little girl. But don't let appearances fool you, they can be as fierce as any dragon. Yet they are not here to fight our battles, but to whisper from a hearth. Reminding that it's us... it's everyone of us who holds the power of the worlds we create.”

“I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.”

“Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged”

“And finally this question
The mystery of whose story it
will be.
Of who draws the curtain.
Who is it that chooses our steps
in the dance?
Who drives us mad?
Lashes us with whips
and crowning us
with victory when we
survive the impossible.
Who is it... that does all these things?
Who honors those we love for the
very life we live?
Who sends monsters to kill us, and
at the same time sings that we'll
never die?
Who teaches us what's real and how to
laugh at lies?
Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend?
Who chains us and who holds the key that can set us free?
It's you...
You have all the weapons you need...
Now fight!”
