Every morning Quote by Martine Leavitt
““How thin the air felt at the forest's edge, how ghostly the trees that guarded their realm… The whole world seemed as delicate as a dandelion seed, and as fleeting… How sad to know that the figment village of my imagination would not vanish when I ended, to understand that it was not I who had invented the moon the first time I realized how lovely it was. To admit that it was not my breath that made the winds blow… [M]y heart, my heart knew that when I closed my eyes I invented the night sky and the stars too. Wasn't the whole dome of the sky the same shape as the inside of my skull? Didn't I create the sun and the day when I raised my eyelids every morning?””

When he stands close to you, your life becomes a song, a praise.
