It is sometimes the most fragile things that have the power to endure and become sources of strength.
May Sarton...I feel more alive when I'm writing than I do at any other time--except when I'm making love. Two things when you forget time, when nothing exists except the moment--the moment of writing, the moment of love. That perfect concentration is bliss.

I am not a phoenix yet, but here among the ashes, it may be that the pain is chiefly that of new wings trying to push through.
