“Of course there is a monkey. There is always a monkey.”~Doug Dorst

We all have our ways of handling fear and managing trying;

or 

climbing down,

a spirit of adventure,

or

get this thing over with.

~Kristin Armstrong

 I love the chill October days, 

when the brown leaves lie thick and sodden 

underneath your feet ... 

the evenings in late autumn time, 

when the white mist 

creeps across the fields, 

making it seem as though old Earth, 

feeling the night air cold to its poor bones, 

were drawing ghostly bedclothes 

round 

its withered limbs. 

~Jerome K. Jerome

“Did you know that there are over three hundred words for love in canine?” ― Gabrielle Zevin

 “The seeker 

embarks 

on a journey 

to find what he 

wants 

and discovers, 

along the way, 

what he 

needs.” 

~Wally Lamb
