“I don't want to touch you skin to skin. I want to touch you deeply, beneath the surface, where our real stories lie.”
― Richard Wagamese, Embers: One Ojibway's Meditations

“I want you to know that it is not always easy to love me. That sometimes my chest is a field full of landmines, and where you went last night, you can’t go tomorrow. There is no manual, there is no road map, no help line you can call; my body does not come with instructions, and sometimes even I don’t know what to do with it. This cannot be easy. But still, you touch me anyway.”
― Ivan E. Coyote
