"I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded.
Not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain
gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away
unannounced in the middle of the night."

- Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

"Blessed are the
weird people:
poets. misfits. writers.
mystics.
painters and
troubadours.
For they teach us to
see the world through
different eyes."
