Lauren Slater said this quote

... instead of spelling stories you spread silence, which was outside the alphabet.

~ Lauren Slater

I watch the sky progress through its morning paces, the light turning from rose to saffron as the sun ascends, its rays like ribbons tangling in the tops of trees.

~ Lauren Slater

Finally the dawn came, the sky fringed with pink, and the sun bright as a coin in a spill of rising red.

~ Lauren Slater

...tethered to the ground by quotidian conversation.... the window rosy with anemic November light.
