Dreams Quote by Susan Fletcher
““I had thought the second sight was a dream, or a vision, a sudden rush of breath. I had thought that the truth might step into my hut, like a ghost, and say its name--that I might find it, if I sought it. But, I was wrong. You will know it, in time... I knew it, now. And I knew it was a feeling--deep, in the chest, or in more than the chest. It was a feeling in the bones, in the womb, in the soul.””
