“I think we make our own hell down here
during our life times-
the penalty for not being true;
the punishment for fear;
we suffer the consequences”
― Heather Nova, The Sorrowjoy

“So I sing
I sing to get on with it
I sing to say afloat
I float to stay free
I do not commit so that I can keep dreaming
and I dream so that the possibilities remain perfect”
― Heather Nova, The Sorrowjoy

“I keep going back
as if Im looking for something I have lost
back to the motherland, sisterland, fatherland
back to the beacon, the breast
the smell and taste of the breeze,
and the singing of the rain.”
― Heather Nova, The Sorrowjoy

“Love- however doomed, had the capacity to attach bouys to the soul.”
― Ariana Franklin, Mistress of the Art of Death
