I want to raise them up in benediction, for there is a divine spark in each human moment to be blessed. These are real people I lift up, people who may have gossiped and hated,
but have also dreamed and loved. They carry you in their hearts, whether they
understand you or not.
​--Rachel, A Canoer of Shorelines
