"Sunflowers end up facing the sun, but they go through a lot of dirt to find their way there."

 “It was the hour when snow goes blue

and streetlights come on and a hare may
pause on the tree line as still as a word in a book.”

― Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red

"Every year at just this time,
In cold and dark December,
Families around the world
All gather to remember,
With presents and with parties,
With feasting and with fun,
Customs and traditions
for people old and young."

• Helen H. Moore
