The Book of Stillmeadow Quotes

“Above all birds, the hummingbird gives me that feeling of the mystery and the wonder of life. Such a vibrant little body, such color, and wings that beat faster than thought. I felt as if I could watch the whole of life if I could hold a hummingbird in my hand once.”

“Life is not, after all, made up of grand moments, grand gestures, glorious achievements. Life is made up of many days filled with small things.
