When Women Were Birds

What thrilled me the most was the fact that million of meteors burn up every day as they enter our atmosphere. As a result, Earth receives ten tons of dust from outer space. Not only do we take in the world with each breath, we are inhaling the universe. We are made of stardust.

What needs to be counted on to have a voice? Courage. Anger. Love. Something to say. Someone to speak to; someone to listen. 

I wish someone had told me when I was young that it was not happiness I could count on but change. 

Reading has not only changed my life but saved it. The right books picked at the right times- especially the one that scares us, threatens to undermine all we have been told, the one that contain forbidden thoughts - these are the books that become Eve's apples.
