Once, there was a girl who wanted to change the world & at first, she thought it’d be easy, because if everyone could see how beautiful it’d be, it’d take about a minute, but all the people she talked to were too busy to stop & listen. So, she went off & did beautiful things all on her own & pretty soon people were stopping & asking if they could come along & do that, too & that’s how she figured out how worlds change.
(~Brian Andreas, Story People)

She thought of Joseph and how love can start with something as simple as the gift of a peanut.

She thought of Cornelius and Lafayette, and as she offered a berry to Violet, she thought how good it was to have friends.
(~Henry Cole, A Nest for Celeste)

The first time her laughter unfurled its wings in the wind, we knew that the world would never be the same.
