“I made it," you said, gruffly, "for you."

You shoved it onto my finger. It was roughly carved, shaped from a lump of something colourful and cold...a ring made entirely from a gemstone. It was beautiful. It glinted emerald greens and blood reds over my skin, and had tiny flecks of gold catching the light. I couldn't stop staring at it.

You didn't answer that. Instead you touched the ring gently and looked piercingly at me, unsaid questions in your eyes.”

“Children, language, lands: almost everything was stripped away, stolen when you weren’t looking because you were trying to stay alive. In the face of such loss, one thing our people could not surrender was the meaning of land. In the settler mind, land was property, real estate, capital, or natural resources. But to our people, it was everything: identity, the connection to our ancestors, the home of our nonhuman kinfolk, our pharmacy, our library, the source of all that sustained us. Our lands were where our responsibility to the world was enacted, sacred ground. It belonged to itself; it was a gift, not a commodity, so it could never be bought or sold. These are the meanings people took with them when they were forced from their ancient homelands to new places.”

What life can recover from that?”
― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

Even now when Kevin or Joe has taken one of my shirts I think back and laugh!”
― Nick Jonas

“Trusting that 'this' message in a quotation, finds you in a spirited condition of extraordinary peace. Identify, discern, resist and desist energies that trigger your peace. Although peace cannot be given to a person, it can certainly be disturbed, taken...stolen. If your peace has been subject to victimization, know peace is hardly subjective; it is a spirit that can be internally, and universally understood. There is an authentic success that carries the spirit of peace with it; for there is no real movement into a state of success in your presence, present or future...where peace cannot abide with it. By all means be successful and protect the quality and quantity of peace you have; if you find you are in want for more peace. Welcome this spiritual wealth renown throughout history as peace into your life, often and without ceasing; know that you can restructure your success with its eternal benefits and live like a spiritual tycoon from its divine divends...”
