“A Tangible Reminder”:
“Underfoot rustling unsilent leaves
Crackle electric ecstasy
Spice the autumn air,
A tangible reminder
That death can be a glory.”
― Elizabeth Barrette, From Nature's Patient Hands

“Love is an abstract noun, something nebulous. And yet love turns out to be the only part of us that is solid, as the world turns upside down and the screen goes black.”

“In the darkest days, the Lord puts the best people into your life." (p. 28)”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“Alpenglow”:
“Even the rainbow never dreamed of this:
The touch of lastlight on snowy shoulders,
The kiss of dawn on crystal lips,
A rush of rarest red welling up to fill the mighty sky
With splendor.”
― Elizabeth Barrette, From Nature's Patient Hands
