is given dreams of previous lives. Journeys, winding paths,
a hundred small lessons
and then the past is erased.”

“How joyful to be together, alone
as when we first were joined
in our little house by the river
long ago, except that now we know

each other, as we did not then;
and now instead of two stories fumbling
to meet, we belong to one story
that the two, joining, made. And now

we touch each other with the tenderness
of mortals, who know themselves”
― Wendell Berry, Entries

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”
― Victor Hugo, William Shakespeare

“I melted into the dream as if I had always been there. I knew where I had come from; I knew where I was going.”
― Chelsie Shakespeare
