how can you love a little cat so much in such a short short time?

Something I am wondering: if you cannot hear do you have no sounds in your head? Do you see a silent movie

Every character is asking: Whats my place? Why am I here? I dont want the answer to be Just because. You find your own purpose. Each finds the reason to be here and how to contribute.

Sometimes you know in your heart you love someone, but you have to go away before your head can figure it out.

Each child brings so much joy and hope into the world, and that is reason enough for being here. As you grow older, you will contribute something else to this world, and only you can discover what that is.

I am drawn to the ways in which we are shaped by people and by place.

I enjoy receiving and giving realistic fiction, for both children and adults, with strong characters, beautiful language, and humane visions.
