The Rhythm Is Everywhere
Quote
Amazon.com
I thought of a rhythm in my mind.
I heard the rhythm with my ears.
I looked at the rhythm with my eyes.
I smelled the rhythm with my nose.
I sang the rhythm with my mouth.
I caught the rhythm with my hands.

When Legends Become Real
Quote
Amazon.com
This, Soren realized in the deepest part of his gizzard, was why they had to go to the Great Ga’Hoole Tree. For when the world one knew began to crumble away bit by bit, when not only your memories but the memories that others might have of you grew dim with time and distance, when, indeed, you began to fade into a nothingness in the minds of the owls that you loved best, well, perhaps that was when legends could become real.

The Usual Dimension
Quote
One of the children in my life had the following conversation immediately after waking up:
Child: I’m glad we live in this dimension and not the other.
Me : Oh, That’s good. What’s in the other dimension?
Child: Nooooo! We have to build the machine to get there! We don’t have the parts.
I guess that means we’re stuck here.
