The Slow Turning of Wonderful Things Quotes

“What we can do now,
is show her the sky,
marvel at its incomprehensible vastness.
Let's show her the beauty of new horizons,
and the value of perseverance.
We can show her that no matter how dark or
bleak or hopeless,
that her mind is her best tool,
her spirit is indomitable,
and challenge is an opportunity
to move, shift, pivot, and dance.
Let's teach her to be a sojourner,
moving through space with enough curiosity to
pick her up
and push her forward.
We can teach her to wonder,
to seek it, to love it, to challenge it.
And, honestly,
though it will not make the hard things easier,
let her overwhelming belief in herself
always motivate her.”
― Beatrice Drake, The Slow Turning of Wonderful Things
