Passing

[nightdog_barks]

Only in silence the word,
Only in dark the light,
Only in dying life:
Bright the hawk's flight
On the empty sky.

~ Ursula K. LeGuin, 1929 - 2018

We managed to post the same quote. I guess it was inevitable. :)

:D

The odd thing is? The last line of that quote popped into my head just a few weeks ago, apparently out of nowhere. It had been decades since I thought about Earthsea. DECADES. And yet there it was.

I think about her often because I keep stumbling across her wherever I go - metaphorically (online) and in reality since I have so many of her books. And I have a painting of a scene from Tombs of Atuan in my hall so every time I pass it I think about her.
