“The soul is a breath of living spirit, that with excellent sensitivity, permeates the entire body to give it life. Just so, the breath of the air makes the earth fruitful. Thus the air is the soul of the earth, moistening it, greening it.”

– Hildegard of Bingen

"Grief is the reminder that love was present, and that even if it's no longer in its original form, that love still exists."

~ Michelle Maros - Art by Romany Soup ~

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart.

~ Louise Erdrich - Art by Catrin Welz-Stein ~
