Silkworm Secrets Quotes

“Where have the years gone, Ruby Rose? Sometimes I have to stop and think about how old I am. When I wake up in the morning, before I move this tired old body or look in the blasted mirror, I swear I'm still a young man. It just feels like yesterday. I don't know how it's gone so fast.”
― Lea Davey, Silkworm Secrets

“We were kids, bound by secrets. We’d taken vows, the sort of oaths that kids make. Secrets that we swore to each other we would never repeat. I wanted to tell someone and I often thought about it, even years later. ‘Silkworm Secrets’ Lea Davey”

“When I’m up here, it’s as if I’m floating and everything else has been left below. My mind settles as I climb the mountain and I feel at peace. The ancient trees with their rough bark wrap around me like silk cocoons. Their solid trunks and tendril roots grip the ground as if to say, I will hold you, I will not let go. The air is clear, not sticky or musty, and there’s a breeze that wings its way through the branches, the leaves and across my face. The world below ceases to exist. If I close my eyes I float above the surface of the earth and … I feel calm.’

Bobby Carlon”
