Yay!!  Day 3... (For the last time: THE THREE RULES 1. Thank the person who nominated you. 2. Post a quote for 3 consecutive days (1 quote for each day). 3. Nominate three new bloggers each day.)

This quote is one that I hold very close to my heart, since it reminds me not only that I should not judge people by the way they look, but also that there is beauty in people who see the beauty in others, no matter what.   I'd like to nominate the following people for today: Gau

If you can call it a hand, these pinpricks of light that are newly coalescing into the shape of fingers and palm. At his touch, something breaks, a chain that was tied to the woman-shape crumpled on the snow below. I am buoyant and expansive and uncontainable- but I always was so, only I never knew it! I am beyond name and gender and the imprisoning patterns of ego. And yet for the first time, I'm truly Panchaali. I reach with my other hand for Karna- how surprisingly solid his clasp! Above us our palace awaits, the only on
