Hunter Quote by Meagan Spooner
““I’ve heard this sound before, she realized, her entire body tingling. She’d caught glimpses of it, like a distant haunting refrain, in her deepest moments of silence in the wood. When the long days stretched timelessly on, and her mind emptied of thoughts until there was only her footsteps in the snow, only the feel of the bow in her hand, the bite of cold on her cheeks. When everything else faded away, this sound was what was left.””

![“Sound doesn't always have to be heard. Sound can also be created by how a pattern is set up on a surface- how it moves across the surface, how light reflects the surface [and] can generate a feeling. Sound can also be through feeling, through color, through texture.” quote by Nick Cave](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/618/nick-cave-1153_color_sound-doesn-t-always-have-to-be-heard-so_1661721.jpg)
