Myth, Magic, and Metaphor Quotes

“One of my favorite words to research was ‘text’. It comes from the Latin verb ‘texere’ meaning to weave. Think of writing as sewing a quilt. All the pieces with their various colors and textures are being woven together to form a beautiful spread, a fabric of words. In 1870, a prairie woman wrote: “I make them warm to keep my family from freezing. I make them beautiful to keep my heart from breaking.” A poignant and powerful image. So now go weave your words.”
