From “The Dreamcatcher”

“Some people are like beautiful dreamcatchers, absorbing the most terrible things for those they love and leaving them only the softest, gentlest thoughts behind.”

From “House Shaped Heart”

“Your heart is house shaped, and some have knocked to enter, some have broken in, but only a few have ever called it a home.”

From “You Have Become a Forest”

“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…”

From “River Song”

“And even on the nights the moon and the stars choose not to appear, the river still sings with as much grace as she has always done. She and you share this in common. For an ancient, mystical wildness courses through her currents as blood courses through your veins. Listen carefully to the water the…”

From “River Song II”

“And every river that lives within me Still calls to your ocean. And every story I have ever begun Still carries your imprint. I call you ‘gone’ when you are here in every way that matters”

From “River Song III”

“Stop trying to tame her, wild things like her are not meant to be broken. She was made from a thousand ancient rivers and every single one of them calls for the ocean. Girls like her don’t belong to anyone because Mother Nature created them from her best magic potion.”

From “You are Defined by Yourself First”

“You are not defined by the man who you call father, the man who is your lover or the man who calls you sister. You are not just someone’s daughter, wife or sister. You are galaxies more than that. Woman, you are poetry and songs and oceans and tornadoes, and stars and stories. You are the hundreds…”

From “Lessons I Will Teach My Children”

“To my children, I will say, ‘Fill your skin with kindness and find solace in your solitude. It takes bravery to be kind. But to be brave you will need to know how to stand for something even if you are completely alone.’”

From “Fairytale Child”

“One of the saddest things in the world is watching a child that believed so completely in fairytales learn to accept that they are not real.”

From “Arsenic”

“Some people taste as sweet as arsenic but we kiss them anyway. Even after we know about the poison. Even after we know loving them is toxic. We still love them like the cure, whilst they silently pump venom into our veins.”

From “Mother”

“Think of how much your mother’s body had to endure to give you yours. How can you look at your body in the mirror and see anything less than her miracle?”

From “Kindest”

“All the broken people I know are also the kindest. I guess when you have been through terrible suffering you do not want anyone else to have to endure it. Especially when you know from experience how good a person can be at hiding it.”

From “For You”

“You are every beautiful thing that has ever happened to me wrapped in a person. You may think you are ordinary, but to me you are as magical as the ocean.”

From “ The Sound of Heartbreak”

“It is eerily terrifying that there is no sound when a heart breaks. Car accidents end with a bang, falling ends with a thud, even writing makes the scratching sound of pencil against paper. But the sound of a heart breaking is completely silent. Almost as though no one, not even the universe itself…”

From “Loving the Wind”

“You learn to fall in love with the wind one day, because you will realise that both love and the wind were not made to be seen, yet that does not mean that they do not exist. Some things do not need to be seen to be powerfully felt.”

From “Because We Are the Same”

“But what could you possibly see in her?’ ‘Everything. I see everything in her, because the stardust that makes her is the same stardust that makes me.”

From “A Child of the Universe”

“You are a child of the universe. And they say the universe works in mysterious ways. And about you, my darling, there is such a marvellous magical mysterious way.”

From “We Almost Collided. Almost.”

“We were just stars at the edges of neighbouring galaxies, just about to collide, but passed by each other never touching, yet feeling the stardust in each other’s wake.”

From “Sheep or Wolf?”

“And when they try to force something you love away from you again, you have a decision to make. Are you just going to let them take from you silently like a sheep? Or are you going to channel everything wild within you, and fight them like a wolf?”
