Cathrine Lodoen Quotes & Sayings

When you are turning pages
if you are in the midst of a really good writer
of the very rare kind

his or her voice becomes crystal clear

and all of your own so very still.
They sit down, fold their arms across
your lap and shhhhstillness from within

and from this
in this rare moment

you will be able to observe and then
if you wish
rewrite
your own story.

Yes, this is what the really rare and good writer does
and how reading can heal your life story. — Cathrine Lodoen

Note to adults who work with children:

Tiny eyes watching yours
tiny ears hearing every word
tiny tongues repeating every spoken word ....

that is how I learn
that is how I become.

Your senses hold mine.
Your arms hold my every sense.

Your perspective frames mine.

You teach me what the world is
and what the world can be.

My goodness grows from yours.

Take good care ....
tiny hearts beating ... repeating ...
tiny little souls growing. — Cathrine Lodoen

Our natural state is trust
in ourselves
in others
until we learn differently
then we hurt as we try to unlearn it
until it dawns on our hearts that if we live and act with pure intent
we do not need trust. — Cathrine Lodoen
