Pressed Flowers and the Sea Serpent Quotes

“When I hold out my hands, dirtied waters run clean
and green life springs anew from charred earth.
It took a ripping open of all my deepest wounds,
a sundering and a rebirth,
to understand that I am a healer.”
― Michaela Belmont, Pressed Flowers and the Sea Serpent

“I know I had a different name, once. I was eternal and infinite; all that I loved loved me, and indeed was part of me. We were all part of each other. There was no loneliness, no cold, no distance. Someday I will wake, and remember my true name.”
― Michaela Belmont, Pressed Flowers and the Sea Serpent

“I consider it my greatest test in this world to keep believing in the beauty and nobility of people, no matter how much evidence I am given to the contrary. I try to keep in mind that people are sacred, even when they do not do the same for me. I try to remember that they are sacred even if they have forgotten.”
