""I hope you'll find this book more than a journal of a war long past. Instead, see it as a testament to growth through experience, to friends who gave more than they asked for in return, and to the potential all of us have for reflecting on our past.
May you be as blessed as I was when you reflect on your own journey."
Dangit, I'm already misty at the dedication page." — Jun 24, 2026 08:09AM

"I love me a green knight, or foliate head, or green man, or whatever we're calling this fella:
"Then he beheld an elfin form,
a living woodland wight!
Green was his steed and green his greaves,
his chainmail linked of silver leaves.
He rode out from the forest eaves
and cried, 'Stand fast, false knight!'"" — Jun 13, 2026 11:39PM

“If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next—if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions—you'd be doomed. You'd be ruined as God. You'd be a stone. You'd never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the morning. You'd never love anyone, ever again. You'd never dare to.”

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”

“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
