I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Unanswered Questions

"An unanswered question is a fine traveling companion.  It sharpens your eye for the road.   In some fairy tales there is a magic word which has the power to undo the spell that has imprisoned someone and free them.   When I was small I would wait anxiously until the prince or princess stumbled on the formula and said the healing words  that would release them into life.   Usually the words are some sort of nonsense like 'shazam'.   My magic words are 'I don't know'.   Rachel Naomi Remen
