Ancient greek Quote by Random House Canada
““I remember holding my face to the wind when Katharine died, feeling the air, the coolness and fluidity, the urgency. Every day, wind in my face, capturing my attention in some fundamentally new way. I was aware of breath, of what the ancient Greeks called pneuma, of a soul-filled world. I gulped the air.””
