“The moon is so beautiful. It's a big silver dollar, flipped by God. And it landed scarred side up, see? So He made the world.”

“I would look up at the moon and see that it was not the smooth orb we had all believed, but a pitted and scarred world with no air.”

“… a full moon shimmered over central Louisiana. This was no rinky-dink moon. This was a moon you had to curtsy to. A big, heavy, mysterious, beautiful, bossy moon. The kind you want to serve things to on a silver platter.”

“Witch, do this for me,
Find me a moon
made of longing.
Then cut it sliver thin,
and having cut it,
hang it high
above my beloved's house,
so that she may look up
tonight
and see it,
and seeing it, sigh for me
as I sigh for her,
moon or no moon.”

“If God hath made this world so fair,
Where sin and death abound,
How beautiful beyond compare
Will paradise be found!”

“So many lies. Are taking hold. It’s not your fault. There’s many scars. ~ "On Your Side"”

“God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.”

“Nobody said it was a beautiful world with no scars.”

“There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.”

“The moon draws back its waters from the shore.
By the lake's edge, I see a silver swan,
And she is what I would. In this light air,
Lost opposites bend down —
Sing of that nothing of which all is made,
Or listen into silence, like a god.”
