"“True leaders lead by quiet example, the voice of the breeze whose spirit is eternal while the vainglorious lead by loud display, the voice of thunder that rumbles once and fades away.”" — Jan 08, 2023 08:28AM

“Where there is an emptiness, the mind will obligingly fill it up. Fear is always at hand to supply any vacancies, as is curiosity. I have had ample experience with both.”

“Sometimes when he's drinking, he gets all weepy and he'll ask me to come closer to him and he'll ask me to hug him and it feels strange to hold him close to me but it feels good too, with his face hair rubbing like sandpaper against my softer cheeks and it's strange and sad the feeling of sorrow I feel because I know he might not have actually been physically touched, except by accident, by another human for about fifteen years.”

“I am no longer scared of being a woman — it doesn’t make me any less a man. I am both. I am neither. I am only myself.”

“And how easily a hand becomes a fist.”

“There is a very old story, rarely told, of a wolf that runs into the ocean and becomes a whale. It is said that the two animals share a spirit.
I'd been sent a vision, though I didn't know by whom. Sila, perhaps. Or Singarti. Maybe even Ataata. I couldn't speak to them, couldn't summon them- but I could watch. I could listen. And I thought I understood their message.
The wolf is not bound to its shape. I can change form at will, transforming to a whale when it must swim in the sea.
Seeing the whale, no one would ever suspect it had once been a wolf.”
