it was there she grew

I adore the arctic poppy for how lovely and lithe she is in spite of a harsh environment. (Or is it because of it?) Paper in bloom, stem twining the air's smallest sigh, chin up ever sunward and face full of light, selfless and frail, untroubled by surly stones, forgetting everything else, she worships.

The Pancake Chronicles

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."

"Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious. But I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why."
