“When everyone lives only for self, life doesn't work.”
― Erika Mathews, Promise's Prayer

“Run to and fro everywhere, holy fires, beautiful fires; for you are the light of the world, nor are you put under a bushel. He whom you cleave unto is exalted, and has exalted you. Run to and fro, and be known unto all nations.”
― Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

“December is a bewitching month.
The grey of cold teases
to explode into something worthwhile,
into a dream of cold,
a starlight shower you can taste,
a cold that does not chill.

I've lost my memory
of my first snow--
did I gasp at a field of white?
Or scream at the freeze
untill my cheeks reddened?

The crunch underfoot is satisfying
and the thrill of virgin snow
near leaves.”
― Joseph Coelho, A Year of Nature Poems

“My hero- is the Son of Adon Olam. He has already atoned for the evils that have been done. He did His best- the absolute best there could ever be- for the land. He saved Taerna- and me, and you- before we ever could know it. It is finished. The work is done.”
― Erika Mathews, Promise's Prayer
