Authority is the unmistakeable tone in the voice of a true writer.

I'm not afraid of the opinions of others - but of being needed and coming up short.

The religion of the heart is as intimate as a wish breathed to the night sky.

Dark furrow lines grid the snow, punctuated by orange abacus beads of pumpkins - now the crows own the field.

I'm shy in person - so afraid to confess my love - I need a go-between - our mutual friend, the Moon.

I make no apology about stirring the depths - every human longs to swim under water and see what lurks beneath

It must be hard when you are a beautiful woman and no one will look at your soul.
