Eat of my deep earth, drink of my living streams, for I am your Mother. Your heart is my wild drum, your breath my eternal song. If you would live, dance with me!

But I believe we all have an inner goodness a little flame that stays alight through the worst of trials.

Good and bad shade and sunlight, there's but a hair's breath between them. It's all one in the end.

You are... you're like a beating heart. A glowing lamp. I've never met anyone like you before.
