&quot;We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly&quot;<br /> -Sam Keen

She sits in her chair,
The wood touches her neck,
She looks at the ground,
Terrified of regret.

Looking at the crowd,
Eyes of curiosity,
Can she make a sound?
Ignore the blasphemy?

Slowly but surely,
With hesitant hands,
She throws up her arm,
And she starts up the band.

She raises her bow,
And when it touches the strings,
The world is amazed
By the beauty she brings.

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
