• I have a deep-down belief that there are folks in the world who are good through and through, and others who came in mean and will go out mean. It's like coffee. Once it's roasted, it all looks brown. Until you pour hot water on it and see what comes out. Folks get into hot water, you see what comes out.

Our children weight hard on my heart, and thinking about them growing up honest and healthy, or just living to grow up at all, makes a load in my chest that is bigger than the safe at the bank,and more valuable to me than all the gold inside it.

• A veces me siento como un árbol en una colina, en el lugar donde sopla todo el viento y el granizo golpea más fuerte al árbol. Toda la gente a la que quiero está a un lado, refugiada bajo una gran roca, y yo estoy fuera del redil, de pie, sola bajo el sol y la nieve. Siento que, de algún modo, no formo parte del resto, aunque me dan la bienvenida y son amables. Veo a mi familia cuando se sientan juntos y es como si tuvieran una cierta forma de ser entre ellos que me supera. Me pregunto si otras personas se sienten incluidas y a la vez solas.

  Nancy E. Turner
