Dream Quote by Cathrine Fisher
““Even gods dream. I dream of water, of how it falls, the plop of the great hot drops on the desert, the hollow pits they make in the sand; how the parched land drinks them instantly. I am a god; my dreams should come true. But then, water is different, water is she, and there's no control over her. I think I have lines on my body, and great scorched places and pustules that burn like volcanos. Or sores. Or deserts. I puzzle myself. Am I single or double? Light or light's shadow? And the tunnel leads up to the world and I climb and scuttle through it, and come to where you live. And one of the problems of divinity is that people expect something huge and powerful. And an instant result.””
