“She sat very still, listening to a stream gurgling, the breeze soughing through upper branches, the melodious kloo-klack of ravens, the nyeep-nyeep of nuthatches - all sounds chokingly beautiful. She felt she could hear the cool clean breath of growing things - fern fronds, maple leaves, white trillium petals, tree trunks, each in its rightful place.”
― Susan Vreeland, The Forest Lover

― Maryanne O'Hara, Cascade

“Drawing is the poet's written line, set down to see if there be a story worth telling, a truth worth revealing.”
