Some people won't even own a dog for fear it will die - you can't bubble-wrap your heart.

Each heart is made of a different stone - no two feel alike nor break the same way.

The winter is kind and leaves red berries on the boughs for hungry sparrows.

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