Heather Day Gilbert
“I couldn’t describe the smells of West Virginia, even if I tried. It has something to do with the leaves composting in the woods, the cold trickle of little creeks and waterfalls, the ferns greening up everything. But somewhere deep below, I can smell the rock and the coal this state is built on.”
Heather Day Gilbert, Miranda Warning

Thomas  Trezise
“My limitations drive my doubt and tell me to trust only what I see. My inspiration drives my faith and tells me to hope in what I cannot see.”
Thomas Trezise, Former Things Forgotten
