S.K. Man
“Not everything needs to be spoken. Some truths rest quietly in a gesture, a breath, a presence that stays long after it leaves.”
S.K. Man, Fragments of Light: In the Stillness, Something Endures

“He’s slipped up a little every now and then but after today, I imagine he’ll be spending a little extra time in church next Sunday.”
R. Gerry Fabian, Just Out Of Reach
