Falling in love with someone is the surest highway to hurt that I know. When the door to love opens, the window to control closes.

I wait for answers, but inside I know I have to go out and find them. And answers like knowledge, are not always where we first look for them.

Nonfiction speaks to the head. Fiction speaks to the heart. Poetry speaks to the soul. It's the essence of beauty. The essence of pain. It pleases the eye and the ear.

Do you ever dangle your toes over the precipice, dare the cliff to crumble, defy the frozen deity to suffer the sun, thaw feather and bone, take wing to fly you home?
