    I Have Been A Lot Different

    I have always been a little different. Even as a young child, when other girls were content with playing princesses and tea parties, I found myself more engrossed in embarking on imagined adventures, climbing trees, and dreaming of the vast, untouched world beyond my backyard. It was a divergence that sometimes isolated me, a tiny ripple in the fabric of conformity that set me apart. Yet, I cherished this difference. I nurtured it. Even then, I understood it as a flame, a flicker of an identity that was distinctively, and blatantly unapologetically, mine. Sky above me, Earth below me, a fiery passion forever burning within me.

    Belong, Reprise

    Thomas Slatin Quote On Writing A Novel

    “Although I have considered writing a novel, my wheelhouse is not in fiction, and even it it were, my writing would center around black forests and wolves, with characters all in half-costume, half-awake, and half gone to seed. When I was younger, I would write in riddles and rhymes, whereas in recent years, I have started writing with old words which are so obscure that people falsely assume that they are simply made-up words, in the trademark great reverent style that is uniquely mine.” Thomas Slatin

    Thomas Slatin Quote

    “Everyone speaks of how far the human race has advanced, yet we refuse to acknowledge the fact that we still unnecessarily and inexcusably condone the use of violence and destruction as a justifiable means of conflict resolution.” —Thomas W.P. Slatin
