The possibilities are endless, but most often I imagine him found by children. Above him, the sky shimmers and undulates blue through transparent springwater. Then four small brown hands break the surface and pull him into the air and into their excited and frightened vocabularies. The delicate bones of their arms and ribs absorb his voice, shattering their knowledge of what is possible.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rhonda Riley" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/rhonda-riley/countless-times-i-have-imagined-a-rising-through-the-rivers-of-this/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b7f/rhonda-riley-108061_acceptance_countless-times-i-have-imagined-a-rising_231593.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b7f/rhonda-riley-108061_acceptance_countless-times-i-have-imagined-a-rising_231593.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b7f/rhonda-riley-108061_acceptance_countless-times-i-have-imagined-a-rising_231593.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Countless times, I have imagined A. rising through the rivers of this land, to the surface of Florida to be…” — Rhonda Riley", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“I tried to turn my heart to the living, to the place I was, but putting seed in land not owned by me or my family seemed alien. The sandy, gray-white soil looked like dirty beach sand, not fit for growing anything. It smelled like dust. Yet weeds and trees and wildflowers grew along the roads. When we drove into town, we passed dense, impenetrable woods and fields of corn, peas, and peppers. Such new combinations of seemingly poor soil and happy flora puzzled me. Everywhere I went, I picked up the dirt, examining it for clues. Bringing anything out of such soil would require a whole new language on my part. I imagined there must be something richer and darker under the gray sand, or some trick the farmers all knew. Trick or no trick, what I had always been able to do well now seemed inaccessible. Still, I searched the yard around our house for the best spot to plant my fall garden.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rhonda Riley" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/rhonda-riley/i-tried-to-turn-my-heart-to-the-living-to-the-place-i-was-but-putting/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c1c/rhonda-riley-108061_family_i-tried-to-turn-my-heart-to-the-living-t_1581590.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c1c/rhonda-riley-108061_family_i-tried-to-turn-my-heart-to-the-living-t_1581590.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c1c/rhonda-riley-108061_family_i-tried-to-turn-my-heart-to-the-living-t_1581590.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I tried to turn my heart to the living, to the place I was, but putting seed in land not owned by me or my…” — Rhonda Riley", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/rhonda-riley/#person", "name": "Rhonda Riley", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/rhonda-riley/", "image": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wp-content/uploads/sms4s/authors/processed/b028/author-rhonda-riley-108061.jpg" }, { "@type": "ProfilePage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/rhonda-riley/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/rhonda-riley/", "name": "Rhonda Riley", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/rhonda-riley/#person" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b7f/rhonda-riley-108061_acceptance_countless-times-i-have-imagined-a-rising_231593.jpg" }, "description": "Rhonda Riley has 2 quotes on SMS4Smile.
