― Cheri Bauer

“I wanted that feeling back... you know the one... as a child - waking up each day with an eagerness to explore, an eagerness to discover new things, a non-judgemental perception of all things, people, places, experiences. A zest for LIFE! Passion, excitement, fearlessness, silliness, variety, and so on. I am ready to embrace those aspects back into my life. Thankfully I never lost my curiosity, nor did I lose my wonderful imagination.”
― Cheri Bauer

to a place where we

To dream, to live, to love
Free from the tyranny of doubt
Riding among the stars
Kissed by the clouds”

“It seems so outrageous to think, as I physically hold my first book (of this series) in my hands, that I am touching my thoughts. It is equally amazing to realize that I am touching my feelings. I am touching my questions. I am touching my hopes and dreams. I am touching my perspectives, and I am touching the (sometimes intentional, sometimes unintentional) “mistakes”. I am also touching my happiness.

I am touching my inner World. I am having a physical (outer) experience with my inner World.”

“Many interesting things have been observed with neuroimaging machines. Synapses firing, electrical charges, patterns. Sparks. The big bang (birth of a thought) perhaps?

It will be most interesting to observe new information around this subject in the future.”

“Time. Time is an invention, a thought, a concept.

I would prefer to live in moments, rather than in time. Moments made up of all of the beautiful events that I desire to have. The concept of time has been adopted, without thought, by most people in the World. Time anchors people, dictates moments, and has people rushing through their lives to make it to another “time”. “Time” to pay bills, “time” when rent is due, “time” spent working, “time” creating stress and deadlines, “time” giving expiration to living – ageing - “dying”. “Time” runs out, so it is said... But then again...”

“Not unlike a teacher at a Mystical school, or Ninja academy graduate - story-tellers are the Watchful Wizards of worlds. They see that which is otherwise thought to be invisible: your monsters, your villains, your would-be helpers, your dreams, and secret passageways. More importantly – we see you, even if you believe yourself to be invisible. We quietly (and keenly) observe. We craft and create worlds for you to spend time in, where it is perfectly okay (and exciting) to be yourself. We cheer for you when you win victories which others may see as 'small'. We send you best friends and thoughtfully placed serendipities to accompany you as you traverse the shadows of the unknown. We speak words which you may worry are too frightening for you to say out loud, just to show you that it is okay. We try to carefully reveal who your allies are; noting that you do indeed have them.”
― Cheri Bauer

“insecurities can stifle a unique voice. Some people may not wish to present their inner world, if they are overly concerned about its reception being splayed out and disregarded as 'paltry', or inconsequential. It can be helpful to remind one's self that you must first fall in love with your own imagination and expression. Take a bold step forward – what that boldness is will be very unique to each individual. Even the shy can be bold and fierce.”
― Cheri Bauer

“Industry people, I get it. I really get it. You, as a reader first and foremost, want to be courted by your love. Though you are labelled 'professional', and have had your area of interest dictated by income, you still want to be teased and fawned over – because you matter as well. You want to be whisked away and held captivated as you meander the world, together. A new book is not unlike a new romantic attraction. You want to take your new flame to the cozy little cafe and relax in a corner while you slowly unfurl the pages; fingertips slowly drawing circles on the well-formed words as you sip a deliciously aromatic coffee (or tea, if you prefer). You want to take your time and explore the intricacies and subtle interplay, with a good helping of magnetic curiosity.”
― Cheri Bauer

“Like a spectre of a seemingly imagined conversation, you continue hosting; exploring me, opening me, holding my very deepest recesses within your grasp. It is such an unguarded feeling, to know that you are there; whether years, or weeks away. It could even be lifetimes of distance between our heartbeats. I think I've lost track of time, waiting patiently for you. Please linger, tarry, peruse, and dwell just a little more. I want to look upon your face - perceive every subtle line around your eyes, and make note of the dips and curves of your countenance.”
― Cheri Bauer

“There is a place in Venezuela where lightning strikes 280 times per hour, 160 nights a year: I imagine that this is a place in my heart. The place which lit up when I first saw your beautiful face. The place where untold adventures await - as I entertain the idea of playfully cavorting with you.”
― Cheri Bauer

“I love subtext, at times. It is the shy and sweetly unobtrusive whisperings that are truly innocent, yet filled with passion and blossoming promise.”
― Cheri Bauer

“So entranced by the feeling of your skin against my fingertips; wrapped up in observing every little detail about you, with the intrinsic curiosity of a child who is exploring the world for the very first time.”
― Cheri Bauer

― Cheri Bauer

“Rebellion can seem pointless to those whom have never had to fight for what they need, or would like. Privilege is not always kindly given.”
― Cheri Bauer

“I want to be whole. More than half-healed. More than half-loved.

I was never given a lovely life. And I've had far too much taken from me, the most poignant being my innocence, my joy, and my trust... I want them all back.”
― Cheri Bauer

“I dance - to ease the madness, to subdue the longing, to breathe life into my dreams.”
― Cheri Bauer
