A Perfume of Their Own
A L O H A !
"Life itself is the most
wonderful fairy tale."
Hans Christian Andersen
“Everybody is talented because
everybody who is human
has something to express.”
Brenda Ueland
“The unnatural and the strange
have a perfume of their own.”
Fernando Pessoa
“Oh, listen. Listen!'
A sound like a big crowd a good way off,
excited and shouting, getting closer.
We stand up and scan the empty sky.
Suddenly there they are (the geese),
a wavering V headed directly over
the hilltop, quite low, beating southward
down the central flyway and talking as they pass.
We stay quiet suspending our human conversation until their garrulity fades and their wavering lines are invisible in the sky.
They have passed over us like an eraser over a blackboard, wiping away whatever was there before they came.”
Wallace Stegner
