“Here in the notebooks I've let it out, I've collected all these different words. The ones in the yellow notebook, they found me, they find me still. They are the words that came from beyond, because I was ready to receive them. And then the rest of the words, these words I'm writing now--they don't feel so different, they also come through me. I listen in; I intercept them. I receive these words and send them out again, so they can reach the next person.”

“Los animales, como los humanos, cometen en la vida los errores que finalmente los conducen a la muerte, sea física, espiritual o emocional. Las personas y los animales que en la vida hacen siempre el mismo camino eventualmente harán un surco. Pronto los surcos se hacen tan profundos que las personas no pueden ver hacia los costados. No ven el peligro ni la belleza, solo el camino que tienen adelante, porque temen perder su seguridad y temen entrar en terreno desconocido.”

“Animals, like humans, make in life
the mistakes that will ultimately
lead to their death, either physically
or on a spiritual and emotional
level. People and animals that
stay on the same paths in life will
eventually wear themselves into ruts.
Soon the ruts become so deep that
the people can no longer see over
the sides. They see neither danger,
or beauty, only the path before
them because they fear losing their
security and are afraid to enter the
land of the unknown.”

“There is in fact coming and going, bending and breaking. One single bolt or screw holds the blades of a scissors together, into one tool that can cut paper or leather or steel or meat. If you take that screw or break that bolt, the scissors become two things. Two knives. Eyes can cut, too, back and forth. Eyes can turn outward or inward.”
― Peter Rock, Klickitat

“It’s about the girl,” she said. “She lived for four years in the forest, never in a house. Growing things, hiding, reading books. We’ll go see her; she’ll tell us things.”
