“In many places along this narrow, curving strand of pavement, the forest threads tree limbs overhead in a latticework canopy that leads one to think of the sacredness of cathedrals.  Once you enter this hallowed space, the temperature drops dramatically and a world of virtual silence wraps you in a cocoon of serenity and grace.  For Kate, it is a destination in and of itself, this magnificent temple of embracing trees, limbs arching overhead with long arms of wooded skin, reaching for their beloved partners on the other side of the road, seeking communion and the joining of lovers.”
― Kathy Martone, Victorian Songlight: The Birthings of Magic & Mystery

“The waves dissolve into foaming petals, reminding me that something so powerful can also be quite fragile at the core.”
― Kiana Krystle, Dance of the Starlit Sea

“A mother's love is a gentle caress that comforts even in her absence, a feeling that lingers and brings solace, forever cherished.”
― Shabira Banu

“No matter the vastness of it all, the most ordinary life is still the greatest thing out there and therefore, no matter the circumstances, it’s all worth living. ”
― Daniel Cuervonegro, Sins of the Maker
