his very minute I could wind myself into yarn around a slow book, knitting needle for a bookmark. Some days have all the stretch of long time and yet, with space wide like the fourth dimension, it isn't long enough and I want to pull the hours into taffy minutes. That's today. I need to pause and gain my feet again, imagining how they'll walk me, where they'll walk me, through tomorrow and tomorrows after.
My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."
C.S. Lewis - Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold
"Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious. But I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why."
