welcome, 2017. welcome.

“one day when you wake up, you will find that you have become a forest. you have grown roots and found strength in them that no one thought you had. you have become stronger and more beautiful, full of life giving qualities. you have learned to take all the negativity around you and turn it into oxygen for easy breathing. a host of wild creatures live inside you and you call them stories. a variety of beautiful birds rest inside your mind and you call them memories. you have become an incredible self-sustaining thing of epic proportions. and you should be so proud of yourself, of how far you have come from the seeds of who you used to be.”

“the sun shines not on us but in us. the rivers flow not past, but through us. thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. the trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love.”
