“Some days, if I look long enough, I think, perhaps, they are beautiful, just lines on skin signifying nothing, conceived from nothing, just pure sensation.”

“This is the me that I am now. It is humbling, a reality far more vast and measureless than my questions.”

“The conditions were almost perfect, but not quite. It was a delirium.”

“The wild is breathtaking and beautiful, but it is also messy and unpredictable. It does not conform to human desire. It cares not for our fears.”
