“The earth is speaking to us, but we can't hear because of all the racket our senses are making. Sometimes we need to erase them, erase our senses.  Then - maybe - the earth will touch us. The universe will speak. The stars will whisper.”  (Connected to the Universe)

“Star people are rare.” (Individuality)

“Nothing’s more fun than being carried away.” (Creative)

“Home is everything you can walk to.” (Sensitive)

 “She laughed when there was no joke. She danced when there was no music. “ (Creative)

“She had no friends, yet she was the friendliest person in school.” (Authentic, Kindness, Empathy)

“In her answers in class, she often spoke of sea horses and stars, but she did not know what a football was...” (Creative)

“We wanted to define her, to wrap her up as we did each other, but we could not seem to get past "weird" and "strange" and "goofy." Her ways knocked us off balance. ” (Self Confident, Empathy)

 “Why fit in when you're born to stand out?” (Individuality, Self Confidence)\

“It’s really hard to do nothing totally. Even just sitting here, like this, our bodies are churning, our minds are chattering. There’s a whole commotion going on inside us.” 

 “I’m erased. I’m gone. I’m nothing. And then the world is free to flow into me like water into an empty bowl…. And… I see. I hear. But not with eyes and ears. I’m not outside my world anymore, and I’m not really inside it either. The thing is, there’s no difference between me and the universe. The boundary is gone. I am it and it is me. I am a stone, a cactus thorn. I am rain. I like that most of all, being rain.”
