“Meet me there, where the sea meets the sky...” ~Oksana Rus











“I wish 
I could show you 
the little village 
where I 
was born. 
It's so lovely 
there...
I used to think it too 
small 
to spend a life in, 
but now 
 I'm not
so 
sure.” 
 ~Mary Kelly

“No matter what they tell you, you are an animal in the forest” ~Bangambiki Habyarimana







“Dogs 
are our link
 to paradise. 
They don't know evil 
or jealousy 
or discontent. 
To sit with a 
dog 
on a hillside 
on a glorious afternoon 
is to be back 
in Eden, 
where doing 
nothing 
was not boring--
it was 
peace.”

 ~Milan Kundera

“I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow.” ~Edgar Allan Poe


















“The day 
and time
 itself: 
late afternoon 
in early 
February, 
was there a moment of the year 
better suited 
for 
despair?” 

~Alice McDermott

“Clouds suit my mood just fine.” ~Marie Lu









 “Because 
when you are 
imagining, 
you might as well 
imagine 
something 
worth while.” 

~L.M. Montgomery

“It is the still, yellow kind of afternoon when one is apt to get stuck in a dream if one sits very quiet” ~Dodie Smith












 “Just take my hand, 
lead, 
dance with 
me...
and I will simply 
follow 
the blueness 
of the 
water, 
the white waves 
rolling 
free...
where the earth 
 beneath my 
feet 
and stars 
make my heart 
whole again...
in long 
and priceless moments 
of shared 
solitude” 

~Oksana Rus
