“The first weapon I ever held was my mother’s hand. I was a small child then, soft at the belly. On that night, my mother woke me and led me out to the Carolina woods, deep, deep into the murmuring trees, black with the sun’s leaving.

“Lives aren’t completed.
They’re concluded.
You are, and forever will be, unfinished.
This is nature.

Do you ask when the weather will be complete? The spring finished?
Your life won’t have one point or purpose.
You’re lovelier than that.”
― Jarod K. Anderson, Love Notes From The Hollow Tree

“A church is a sort of wood.
A wood is a sort of church.
They’re the same thing really.”
― Susanna Clarke, The Wood at Midwinter
