Jacqueline Simon Gunn
“Flaco was a hero in the true sense of the word. He wasn’t trying to be courageous or earn a title for himself, he was simply living authentically and through the disclosure of his true nature, he offered humans the opportunity to find the hero within themselves.”
Jacqueline Simon Gunn, Flaco the Owl Spreads His Wings

Zeon Vale
“Divine Threads of Light
Sometimes, God doesn't arrive as an answer, but as a question that tears you in two—stitching you back with threads of light.
Life doesn't belong to you. You belong to life—and that's the first true freedom.”
Zeon Vale, The Call of the North – 42 Weeks and One Day
