Tiny Miracles and Holy Shit
Finally.
It is True Fall over here.
A blanket of yellow and red quivers on a bed of peridot grass. The air – slightly colder than my body would like it to be – drops frosty kisses on my plants and windows.
Here in California, rarely do we get to experience a season in true form. Usually it’s this hybrid creature – a mixture of all the seasons, in no particular order, splattered like paint on the
“For a writer, I'm not sure that feeling of knowing you've just written something good and strong can be trumped. Not because it means I did something right. But because it proves how many wrongs I pushed through to get there.”

“I know nothing of writing books properly. I write in the same manner I live life: one feeling at a time. If this makes me a bad writer, then I might hope to author several bad books.”

“And so my prayer is that your story will have involved some leaving and some coming home, some summer and some winter, some roses blooming out like children in a play. My hope is your story will be about changing, about getting something beautiful born inside of you about learning to love a woman or a man, about learning to love a child, about moving yourself around water, around mountains, around friends, about learning to love others more than we love ourselves, about learning oneness as a way of understanding God. We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and the resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?
It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out.
I want to repeat one word for you:
Leave.
Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed.”

One of my favorite musicians, Meaghan Smith, released a new album - it hasn't reached the US yet, so I ordered the CD from Canada and it arrived yesterday! Long story short: One of the songs called "Mirror" reminds me of Foster and Dom. Completely. You NEED to listen. And then this song needs to be the theme song when AFK becomes a movie ;)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWXNwO...

Thanks for the friend-vite, Cara. Nice interview with Melissa. :)
My pleasure! Great connecting with you, Tracey!~ Cara
Thanks so much for the friend invite Cara!! :)
Your friend has a lovely voice! Thank you for sending me one of her tracks; I love it, and yes, I definitely hear Foster and Dominic's story within the lyrics. It is a gift we often get the truest reflection of ourselves through other's eyes. So powerful.
